Looks like a package in your app requires a higher version of php. Check the package or upgrade to the required php version.

@johndoe220 Right? And? The error message say what the problem is. You’ve installed PHP 8.0.5. Your Composer dependencies needs a version greater than 8.1.0.

You’ve installed an older version of PHP so I don’t understand why you’re acting confused when Composer’s telling you it wants a higher version.

@johndoe220 I am so glad you got this fixed by installing the required PHP version.
