Valet: Running Valet causes "sudo: illegal option -- -"

[chartalex]

When I try to run "valet install" I get this:

sudo: illegal option -- -
usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -V
usage: sudo -v [-AknS] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user name|#uid]
usage: sudo -l[l] [-AknS] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-U user name] [-u user name|#uid] [-g

            [VAR=value] [-i|-s] [<command>]
usage: sudo -e [-AknS] [-C fd] [-g groupname|#gid] [-p prompt] [-u user name|#uid] file ...

i tried to uninstall and reinstall valet via composer but nothing changes...

What's the output of the following?

sw_vers
valet --version
cat ~/.config/valet/config.json
ls -al /etc/sudoers.d/

The following is less likely related, but may be of diagnostic help:

openssl version -a
openssl ciphers
php -v
which php
which -a php
nginx -v
brew config
brew doctor
brew info openssl
brew info nginx
brew info php
sudo nginx -t

Warning: "config" scripts exist outside your system or Homebrew directories.
`./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if
software packages are installed, and which additional flags to use when
compiling and linking.

Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via
Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew-provided
script of the same name. We found the following "config" scripts:
  /usr/local/php5/bin/curl-config
  /usr/local/php5/bin/freetype-config
  /usr/local/php5/bin/icu-config
  /usr/local/php5/bin/iodbc-config

One more thing:

I was not able to install php 7.2 with brew install:

So I install it with this method:
[I](https://php-osx.liip.ch/

I am able to "php artisan serve" and see laravel homepage @ http://127.0.0.1:8000/

[chartalex]

I udpate my OSX from 10.10 to 10.12 and it works :)

[smartssa]

If anyone like me is stuck with Mac OS 10.11 or below and find Valet throwing this error, it is simply because of incompatibilities with the usage of sudo that changed in Mac OS 10.12.

The easiest "fix" is to just change the source of /usr/local/bin/valet and edit the line that has --preserve-env and replace it with the old switch -E.

Hope that helps any random Googlers.
