unable to use dev_appserver.py to run the local development server on mac

I was following the tutorial on Google cloud platform to run the local server for the hello-world app, and using the dev_appserver.py command, however, the terminal complain with the message as below:

$ dev_appserver.py .

_PHPBinaryError: The development server must be started with the --php_executable_path flag set to the path of the php-cgi binary.

what does the complain mean? Is there anything wrong with the php_runtime.py? and how can i set it straight? Thank you so much.

If you're on a Mac, you need to run this command:

gcloud components install app-engine-php-darwin

If you're on Linux, you need to provide --php_executable_path as the error message states.
