Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages - laravel / valet

Question

I am running this command on the terminal:

composer global require laravel/valet  

but I got this error message:

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

  Problem 1
    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer is locked to version v2.16.4 and an update of this package was not requested.
    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer v2.16.4 requires php ^5.6 || ^7.0 -> your php version (8.1.5) does not satisfy that requirement.

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

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

I search on google but couldn't find any solution.

PHP version I am running is 8.08 on MAMP

How can I solve it?

Answer 1

Run composer global require laravel/valet:*. This will check any installable version is available for your dev environment and install the package.
