Herd Overview

Herd is a fast, native PHP development environment for macOS and Windows from the makers of Laravel, designed to get a PHP and Laravel setup running with zero configuration. Rather than bundling a server stack you manage, it provides a blazing-fast, native runtime so your PHP sites just work, with PHP itself and tools like Composer and the Laravel installer included. A Pro version adds services like databases, a mail catcher, and log viewing through a friendly app. Its focus on speed and simplicity makes it popular with Laravel and PHP developers who want minimal setup. The full offline installer bundles the application and installs without an internet connection. It supports multiple PHP versions side by side and isolates each site, so projects with different requirements coexist cleanly. This page links to the official Herd download.
