I just started a new Laravel project and got the message that my PHP is outdated.

This package requires php >=5.6.4 but your PHP version (5.5.36) does not satisfy that requirement.

I ran php -v and it gave me this result HP 5.5.36 (cli) (built: May 29 2016 01:07:06)

I know I have a higher PHP version installed since my MAMP uses 7.0.

How can I make my machine/composer use this version of php instead of the 5.5 one?

It seems like you have installed both PHP versions, but only one can be used when you run the `php` command. So make sure that your `php` command uses your PHP7.0-cli instead of your 5.5 cli. – Parziphal Sep 14 '16 at 17:58
@Parziphal yes I know this, my question is how I can make it use the PHP7.0-cli – Nicolas Sep 14 '16 at 18:01
