    Search ‘composer.json’ on your laravel folder then you find this :

       "require": {
        "php": "^7.3",

    change that version to "^8.1.0"

    It depends on how you installed PHP on your mac.

    I’ve installed php versions using one of the below through brew

    brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]

    Then if I want to change versions (due to different project requirements) I use the below command

    brew link --overwrite --force [email protected]

    swapping out the 8.1 for the version that you need.

    My information is from This link here and I found it to work well for me
