valet install and valet links errors

[vesper8]

Valet does seem to work just fine.. but I always have these errors and am wondering why, would rather have an errorless valet installed

running on osx sierra 10.12.4
running latest version of valet
php 7.1
latest everything

valet install:

Weird, never seen anything like that before. Does it happen on a fresh install after removing Valet and reinstalling?

[vesper8]

thanks for the advice. I tried 'valet uninstall' several times and it did nothing.. it said it succeeded but it didn't do anything and valet was still available. I was using valet 2.0.4

I then followed the guide to fully remove it

valet uninstall
sudo brew services stop nginx
sudo brew services stop php70
sudo brew services stop dnsmasq
brew uninstall nginx
brew uninstall php70
brew uninstall dnsmasq
rm -rf ~/.valet
rm /usr/local/bin/valet

and then reinstalled it with

composer global require laravel/valet
valet install

The errors went away!

Do note though that after doing all this the nginx and dnsmasq services were not restarted and I had to start them manually
