EnvKit Homebrew tap

EnvKit is a local web-development stack for macOS and Windows: nginx/Apache, several PHP versions, MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB, Mailpit, Node.js, Python, phpMyAdmin/pgAdmin and trusted HTTPS on .test domains.

brew install --cask env-kit/tap/envkit

or

brew tap env-kit/tap
brew install --cask envkit

Apple Silicon only (macOS 12 Monterey or newer).

First launch

EnvKit is signed with a Developer ID but not yet notarized, so Gatekeeper may block the first launch. Any one of these works:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/EnvKit.app

or, after the first blocked launch, System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (macOS 15 removed the right-click → Open override).

Updating

EnvKit updates itself in place, so the cask is marked auto_updates. brew upgrade skips it by default; brew upgrade --greedy --cask envkit forces a reinstall from the latest release.

Uninstalling

brew uninstall --cask envkit          # removes the app, keeps your sites, databases and settings
brew uninstall --zap --cask envkit    # also deletes ~/Library/Application Support/EnvKit — your projects and data live there
