**PHP Monitor** (or *phpmon*) is a lightweight macOS utility app that runs on your Mac and displays the active PHP version in your status bar. It's tightly integrated with [Laravel Valet](https://github.com/laravel/valet), so <u>you need to have it set up before you can use this app</u> (consult the FAQ below with info about how to set up your environment).

## ⬆️ How to update
The recommended method of updating your app to the latest version is to use **the built-in updater**.
The recommended method of updating the app to the latest version is to use **the built-in updater**.
If that doesn't work or you prefer Homebrew, you can also upgrade via those methods.
If you have a very slow internet connection, the updater may report that the download has timed out. In that case, you may wish to manually update by [downloading the latest release](https://github.com/nicoverbruggen/phpmon/releases/latest) and placing the app in `/Applications`.
(You may also use Homebrew to update PHP Monitor, but this will require you to approve the app every time an update is installed. If you use the built-in updater, this won't be necessary.)
