If you're facing this issue with macOS Catalina, I recommend these steps:

1. Install Homebrew (if you haven't already done so): head over to brew.sh or simply run this command: /usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

2. Run brew install php@7.3

3. Update your $PATH variable to include the newly installed version of php:

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/php@7.3/sbin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc

4. Reload your shell preferences script $ source ~/.zshrc or source ~/.bashrc

5. Finally, install laravel: composer global require laravel/installer
