When trying to install XF 2.0.6 Beta 2 I get this error:

jakebooher:~/Sites/xf2 (master) $ php cmd.php xf:install -v


[XF\Db\Exception]
No such file or directory

First guess was that there was an issue with the socket value in my config.php, but I have that set to null so it shouldn't be looking for a socket file. Additionally if I update my config.php file to point to another XF install's database on my localhost everything works fine until I try to install an add-on, which triggers the same error as above

config.php:
PHP:
<?php

$config['db']['host'] = 'localhost';
$config['db']['port'] = '3306';
$config['db']['username'] = 'root';
$config['db']['password'] = '';
$config['db']['dbname'] = 'xf20';
$config['db']['socket'] = null;

$config['fullUnicode'] = true;


$config['debug'] = 1;

$config['development'] = [
    'enabled' => true,
    'fullJs' => true,
    'defaultAddOn' => 'ThemeHouse/Reactions',
];
$config['designer']['enabled'] = true;
$config['enableLivePayments'] = false;

No issues with anything else I have installed (xf1, wordpress, and countless other random things) so I'm at a complete loss at what's going on o_O
Edit: seems to be installing fine with web installer, so I'm guessing it's something goofy with my php-cli
 
Reinstalled PHP and everything seems to be working now, was showing an older version of PHP 7.2 that I don't even have installed anymore when running php -v so something odd was going on with the symlink it created I guess
