Installing L12 on LINUX

Level 58

It seems like you're encountering an issue with the Laravel installer on a Linux system, where it's referencing a path related to Herd, which is typically a package manager for MacOS and Windows. This might be due to a misconfiguration or an incorrect environment setup.

Here's a step-by-step solution to address this:

Verify PHP Installation: Ensure that PHP is correctly installed on your Linux system. You can check the PHP version by running:
```
php -v
```
If PHP is not installed, you can install it using your package manager. For example, on Ubuntu, you can use:
```
sudo apt update
sudo apt install php
```
Check Laravel Installer: Make sure you have the latest version of the Laravel installer. You can update it using Composer:
```
composer global require laravel/installer
```
Environment Variables: Ensure that your environment variables are set correctly. The Laravel installer should use the PHP version installed on your system. Check your PATH variable to ensure it includes the path to your PHP binary. You can check your PATH with:
```
echo $PATH
```
If needed, add the correct PHP path to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file:
```
export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/your/php"
```
Then, reload your shell configuration:
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
Remove Herd References: If there are any references to Herd in your configuration files, remove them. Check your ~/.config directory for any Herd-related files or configurations and delete them if they are not needed.
Reinstall Laravel Project: Try creating a new Laravel project to see if the issue persists:
```
laravel new my-project
```

By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the issue with the Laravel installer referencing an incorrect path. If the problem continues, consider checking the Laravel forums or GitHub issues for any similar reports or updates.
