I'm trying to execute this command(below)

composer create-project laravel/laravel TestApp --prefer-dist

Here is the error I am getting:

Mcrypt PHP extension required.
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with an error



[RuntimeException]

You're missing the mcrypt extension for PHP, which is a requirement for Laravel. Depending on what system you are, or just search for mcrypt extension.

• OSX
• Ubuntu

edit: just saw your osx tag, then the first link should cover it.
