Error when creating a php App with shopify-CLI on macOS

Hi everyone,

This is the first time I am trying to create an app with the Shopify-CLI. However, I get a strange error.

I am on macOS and ruby version: ruby 2.6.3p62 (2019-04-16 revision 67580) [universal.x86_64-darwin20]

Does anyone have an idea on this??

Thanks a lot!

Perhaps not the same cause, but this thread is pretty much the only similar error report on google – on Ubuntu 18 running via WSL, I’m getting:

I'm almost totally Ruby-naive, and already had to jump through hoops and upgrade Ubuntu to get shopify-cli to install, so any tips much appreciated!

Creating a Node app instead (shopify node create) seems to work as expected. The shopify-cli documentation at [https://shopify.dev/apps/tools/cli/getting-started](https://shopify.dev/apps/tools/cli/getting-started) actually says "There are *two* types of app projects that can be created and managed with the CLI:" but then goes on to list *three* types of app, including PHP apps -- I'm wondering if the PHP support is deprecated but hasn't been removed?
