`sudo pecl install couchbase` gives an error of `ERROR: failed to mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.8/pecl/20180731`

I am setting up couchbase but when I try to install the Couchbase PHP extension by running the command sudo pecl install couchbase it fails with an error of ERROR: failed to mkdir /usr/local/Cellar/php/7.3.8/pecl/20180731

Solution

  • I solved this by uninstalling my HomeBrew-installed PHP-7.3 using brew uninstall [email protected] and then reinstalled it with brew install [email protected]. After that, the command sudo pecl install couchbase was no longer bringing the error as before. Thank you @AndreaManzi, I got this idea from the link you provided in your comment on this question.
