The spark installer is deprecated since Spark 2.0, somehow this is never documented. The recommended way is installing Spark with composer.
I believe it's right below the installer instructions in the documentation ;)
Be part of JetBrains PHPverse 2026 on June 9 – a free online event bringing PHP devs worldwide together.
Following the instructions here I run
composer global require "laravel/spark-installer=~1.0"
This produces the following error:
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
