Valet Install On Mac - Cannot Redeclare

Question

I'm installing Valet on my MacBook Pro - El Capitan.

I installed PHP and MySQL with Homebrew as suggested on the Valet documentation page.

However, when I try to install Valet, I get the error:

PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare resolve() (previously declared in /Users/marc/.composer/vendor/hoa/core/Protocol.php:1140) in /Users/marc/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/includes/helpers.php on line 57

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare resolve() (previously declared in /Users/marc/.composer/vendor/hoa/core/Protocol.php:1140) in /Users/marc/.composer/vendor/laravel/valet/cli/includes/helpers.php on line 57

My composer.json file looks like this:

{
    "require": {
        "phpunit/phpunit": "~4.2",
        "phpmetrics/phpmetrics": "^1.10",
        "laravel/valet": "^1.1"
    }
}

I have tried deleting composer.lock and deleted the vendor directory, then composer install, but nothing changes. Any one have any advice here?

I ran into this recently and I was able to resolve it by uninstalling / reinstalling valet:

composer global remove laravel/valet

then

composer global require laravel/valet
