How to install package in laravel?

Question

I have created a Laravel project and now I am trying to install a package using composer require naoray/laravel-package-maker --dev but I am getting an error during the installation.

The error is:

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires naoray/laravel-package-maker ^4.0 -> satisfiable by naoray/laravel-package-maker[v4.0.0, ..., v4.0.4].
    - naoray/laravel-package-maker[v4.0.0, ..., v4.0.4] require illuminate/support ^7.0|^8.0 -> found illuminate/support[v7.0.0, ..., v7.30.6, v8.0.0, ..., v8.83.27] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require naoray/laravel-package-maker:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require naoray/laravel-package-maker: ^2.1" if you know which you need.

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

If anyone knows how to fix this I would really appreciate the help.

Answer 1

The error you are getting is because you have a dependency that conflicts with the one you are trying to download, try running it with the version that is already included, for example:

composer require naoray/laravel-package-maker:^4.0

If the problem persists after trying these options, it may be because the naoray/laravel-package-maker package is incompatible with the specific version of Laravel and its dependencies in your current project. In this case, you may consider using a different version of the package or find an alternative that is compatible with your current configuration.
