error when installing spatie media

I want to install spatie media library but I get this error

PS C:\xampp\htdocs\myproject> composer require "spatie/laravel-medialibrary:^9.0.0"
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update spatie/laravel-medialibrary
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires spatie/laravel-medialibrary 9.0.0 -> satisfiable by spatie/laravel-medialibra
ry[9.0.0].
    - spatie/laravel-medialibrary 9.0.0 requires illuminate/bus ^7.0|^8.0 -> found illuminate/bus[v7.0.0, ...,
7.x-dev, v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.


Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
