I have followed the directions to install drupal-project with drupal-composer. I keep getting this error and it doesn't make sense to me.

[InvalidArgumentException]
Could not find package drupal-composer/drupal-project with version 8.x-dev in a version installable using your PHP version 5.5.38.

I am using MAMP and the php version is 7.1.22. I even tried the template download for drupal-composer/drupal-project and I still get the same error. Composer is installed, verified with the checking the version in terminal.

I have searched and cannot find anything to assist me in solving. Yes, I am new to composer and trying to get a local environment setup with composer versus just downloading etc. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

    Sounds like the CLI is using the PHP installed on the host OS and not the one in MAMP.

    Basically, you need to inform where it is via setting $PATH: io.serendipityhq.com/experience/…

Despite not technically being a Drupal question, this gets asked a lot. The answer, for anyone coming across this using various local dev stacks - you need to inform your command line of where PHP ($PATH variable) is that you want to use. Otherwise it will default to what is installed on your machine, likely very out of date.
