Following steps are used to install Zend framework on MacOS.

1) Install Zend:

Installing Zend on MacOS is a very easy task. This requires only a single command which will create a project directory (named JavaTpoint in my case) having Zend installed inside. Following command is used to do so.

2) Start PHP development server:

When we install Zend framework using composer, we get a directory located inside our home directory which is installation directory of Zend. To access Zend on browser through localhost, we must start the PHP development server. First, we have to change our working directory to javatpoint/public by using following command:

  1. $ cd javatpoint/public   

Then we start the development server using following command.

  1. $ php -S 127.0.0.1:8080   

Where 8080 is the port number on which, server will be listening.
