I can´t Install it my server is running PHP 5.6.25

[ingpedroaraujo]

When I run composer install I get these errors:

Problem 1
- This package requires php >=7.0 but your PHP version (5.6.25) does not satisfy that requirement.
Problem 2
- Installation request for spatie/laravel-analytics ~2.4 -> satisfiable by spatie/laravel-analytics[2.4.0].
- spatie/laravel-analytics 2.4.0 requires php ^7.0 -> your PHP version (5.6.25) does not satisfy that requirement.

Is there a way to solve this problem more than update my php version?

Thanxs

Actually i think you should upgrade php 7. Because laravel 5.5 will require php 7. Or check releases for old php support. But i guess you need to use old laravel like 5.2 or 5.1 .

I strongly advise to use php 7

I agree with @bloggervista .

However, if you'd like to stick with PHP 5.6, set the "spatie/laravel-analytics" version to "~1.4" and edit the files following their locations like below.

https://github.com/ozdemirburak/laravel-5-simple-cms/blob/43548978ae392783e9228a056c63768dae0177b1/app/Http/Controllers/Admin/DashboardController.php
https://github.com/ozdemirburak/laravel-5-simple-cms/blob/43548978ae392783e9228a056c63768dae0177b1/resources/views/admin/dashboard/index.blade.php

And you may need to either convert the functions like dashboard_box etc. to views like in the current version or add the missing functions from the https://github.com/ozdemirburak/laravel-5-simple-cms/blob/43548978ae392783e9228a056c63768dae0177b1/app/Base/Helpers/AdminHelper.php.

Or just remove spatie/laravel-analytics from composer.json and configure the DashboardController.php like below.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Admin;

use App\Base\Controllers\AdminController;

class DashboardController extends AdminController
{
    /**
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory|\Illuminate\View\View
     */
    public function getIndex()
    {
            $this->model = 'User';
            return $this->redirectRoutePath('index', 'admin.fields.dashboard.invalid_setup');
    }
}
