I'm running Magento 2 on MAMP Pro local dev server (mac osx). I have site installed and running fine.
If I try to run following command in site root in terminal, php bin/magento indexer:reindex I get following message:
Magento supports PHP 5.5.0 or later. Please read http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v1.0/install-gde/system-requirements.html
How do I fix this?
OSX comes with a version of PHP installed, which can break things.
php --ini can tell you if you're running the OSX version of PHP, or the MAMP version of PHP.
You can also do php --info to double check the PHP version you're running.
MAMP comes with several versions of PHP, so you may also need to go into MAMP settings and change to a newer version of PHP.

add a PHP file named as "info.php" an at root directory with phpinfo()
open it through browser www.yourdomain.com/info.php
Here, search by $_ENV['PHPRC'] or PHPRC and get the value of it, in my case it was php:/opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php-cgi so my final command to clear cache would be /opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php bin/magento C:C
