[C0kkie]

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

Problem 1
- illuminate/support v6.18.41 requires php ^7.2 -> your php version (8.0.0) does not satisfy that requirement.
- laravel/envoy v1.6.5 requires illuminate/support ~4.1 || ~5.0 || ^6.0 -> satisfiable by illuminate/support[v6.18.41].
- laravel/envoy is locked to version v1.6.5 and an update of this package was not requested.

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

The recommended way to install Laravel is composer create-project, rather than this installer, as of Composer 2.0.0's release (I think??? // cc @driesvints).

The installer only works with the latest Laravel version and not Laravel 6.

[C0kkie]

Who is talking about laravel 6?

[driesvints]

You are:

• illuminate/support v6.18.41

You're trying to require the laravel installer globally without updating the underlying dependencies that other global packages have already set.

Try: composer global require laravel/installer -W

Update your composer.json file with my below code and then add your added package under "require": { } object, It will work
