Laravel 10 has problem deploying to live site on Ubuntu 20 LTS

I can work Laravel 10 on my Windows 11 Pro with Laragon, but when I tried to deploy Laravel 10 project to live site with Ubuntu 20 LTS Apache2 just feels it only supports Laravel 8 at this stage. Anyone had same issues?

$ composer install

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for laravel/framework v10.20.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v10.20.0].
    - laravel/framework v10.20.0 requires composer-runtime-api ^2.2 -> no matching package found.
  Problem 2
    - laravel/framework v10.20.0 requires composer-runtime-api ^2.2 -> no matching package found.
    - spatie/laravel-ignition 2.3.0 requires illuminate/support ^10.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v10.20.0].
    - Installation request for spatie/laravel-ignition 2.3.0 -> satisfiable by spatie/laravel-ignition[2.3.0].

I tried the following:

composer self-update
composer update
composer self-update --2

just could not fix them!

$composer --version
Composer 1.10.1 2020-03-13 20:34:27

This might give you a hint

However Laravel 10 requires php8, so make sure you have the correct php version installed.

Or upgrade to the latest ubuntu, and use this guide

Now, narrow down to my laravel 10 php is version 8.1.22, but the /var/log/php/error.log showing=> [php7:error] [pid 1356094] [client 34.79.162.186:38810] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '|', expecting variable (T_VARIABLE) in /var/www/laravelapp/vendor/laravel/prompts/src/helpers.php on line 11

just run

sudo apt-get remove --purge php7.*

I got the site up and running on the live production URL. Thanks all the comments!
