Mcrypt PHP extension required
If your using MAMP and try to run a Laravel command, you may run into the error:
Mcrypt PHP extension required
Solution is quite easy:
1) Find what version of PHP your using in MAMP
2) Add/Update .bash_profile file
cd ~/
vi .bash_profile
And add the following (while appending the PHP version found in Step 1)
export PATH=/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.6.7/bin:$PATH
3) Save and Restart Terminal
Should be good to go then!
