Can anyone suggest me how to fix tihs, or how should I install php 7.1 on mac os m1?

Answer 1

Tap exolnet/homebrew-deprecated is no longer maintained, hence the error.

To install PHP 7.1, first, untap the exolnet/deprecated tap, then you can use the shivammathur/php tap that I maintain and is widely used.

Follow these steps.

HOMEBREW_DEVELOPER=1 brew untap exolnet/deprecated

• Tap shivammathur/php

brew tap shivammathur/php

• Install and link PHP 7.1

brew install shivammathur/php/[email protected]
brew link --force --overwrite shivammathur/php/[email protected]
