composer php - Incompatible library version: php requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libcares.2.dylib provides version 2.0.0

Question

I am trying to install Craft CMS using composer (composer create-project craftcms/craft) but I am getting an error that says:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/c-ares/lib/libcares.2.dylib Referenced from: /usr/local/opt/[email protected]/bin/php Reason: Incompatible library version: php requires version 6.0.0 or later, but libcares.2.dylib provides version 2.0.0 Abort trap: 6

I am using AMPPS if that helps, and I use PHP version 7.1, although it's saying it's providing version 2. I am also on macOS Sierra 10.12.6.

I believe this started happening after I downloaded httrack using brew. I have tried uninstalling httrack using brew but no luck.
