title: MCrypt is missing from your system. OS Yosemite
body: <p>So at work, I've been tasked to learn and start to use some Laravel, so I've been following the documentation and some tutorials on Youtube, but I cannot seem to get it working. I am using composer and MAMP to install Laravel. When I use the command (in the terminal) "composer create-project laravel/laravel TestLaravel" while in htdocs. It quickly comes up with this error: </p>
  
  <pre><code>➜  htdocs  composer create-project laravel/laravel TestLaravel

    - Installing laravel/laravel (v5.0.1)
