This package requires php 7 but your PHP version (7.0.8) does not satisfy that requirement.

With the following composer.json:

{
     "require": {
    "php":"7",
    "ext-mysqli": "*",
    "ext-gd":"*",
    "ext-ldap": "*",
    "ext-openssl":"*",
    "php-opencloud/openstack": "^2.0"
  },
  "minimum-stability": "dev",
  "prefer-stable":true
}

When I run this command:

Composer install / composer update

I get this output:
This package requires php 7 but your PHP version (7.0.8) does not satisfy that requirement.

And I expected this to happen:
php-opencloud/openstack require php:~7.0
I supposedly be able to install right?

I force update on my development(laptop) environment.

I try to run this production on IBM Bluemix, force install is not a good idea I think

your composer.json is wrong for the php-requirement.

should be e.g. "php": "^7.0"

have the same problem but I know it is system configuration. This works perfectly on my windows dev machine but on the Ubuntu production server (still set to dev on the .env) I am having problems. Any suggestions?

A couple commands to check my installs from the earlyer comment.

# php -v
PHP 7.1.7-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Jul  7 2017 09:41:45) ( NTS )

# php -i | grep curl
/etc/php/7.1/cli/conf.d/20-curl.ini,
curl

# echo "<?php var_dump(extension_loaded('curl')); ?>" | php
bool(true)

This is the Laravel error being shown

(1/1) FatalThrowableError
Call to undefined function Ixudra\Curl\curl_init()
--
in Builder.php (line 370)

UPDATE with fix.

I installed
apt-get install php-curl

After installing
apt-get install php7.0-curl
It worked perfectly

I run with some issue on Windows. php -v out '5.6', but i use 7.0. The problem been in 'Path' variable, where global php install 'openserver/modules/php 5.6'. I changed it on 7.0 and it works.

go to
control panel/system security/ system
advanced system settings / environnement variables/ PATH /
search php path and replace by new path c:\wamp64/bin/php/php7.1.9

and it works
