Laravel installer 1.4 not compatible with PHP 7.2 packages

Problem 1
    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/installer v1.4.1
    - Conclusion: remove symfony/console v4.0.0
    - Installation request for laravel/installer ^1.4 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v1.4.0, v1.4.1].
    - Conclusion: don't install symfony/console v4.0.0

composer is spitting out this error when I try to run the command with PHP 7.2

note I'm using phpcs and php-cs-fixer with PHP 7.2 one of the package is using symfony/console v4.0.0

I've encountered the same problem. I've even created stackoverflow question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47672454/laravel-installer-v1-4-1-not-compatible-with-php-7-1-packages.

the solution is:

composer global why symfony/console (it will show what packages require symfony/console)

remove those packages (or package) then install laravel and after successful installation reinstalled removed packages (or package)
