@mcnutty757 which OS are you using? because mamp usually comes with Mcrytp enabled. Check your phpinfo().

Mcrypt PHP extension required
I am using mamp on Yosemite. I just began watching the videos and came across this error after attempting to still laravel with composer: "Mcrypt PHP extension required."
I have spent the last several hours searching for a solution to no avail.

Homestead is your friend here. http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/homestead

You'll have to recompile PHP on Yosemite with mcrypt support.

@deringer I've been working on this all day and keep getting stuck at cd ../php-5.5.9/ext/mcrypt/ where I get a no such file or directory message. I also tried using homestead and couldn't quite get it right.
Any recommendations on how to improve command line skills? I feel like that is where I am getting tripped up...

From your command line, where you are running cd ../php-5.5.9/ext/mcrypt run the command ls ../ and paste your output.

I think I got it working...yup. @deringer Thanks for the help. I don't know why I suddenly became so obsessed laravel, but I'm glad I did!
