Can't install package on Laravel 5.4

[jafar-albadarneh]

As mentioned in the Docs,

This package requires Laravel 5.3 or higher, PHP 7.0 or higher and a database that supports json fields such as MySQL 5.7 or higher.

My php version is 7.1.2 operating laravel 5.4 with Mysql database 5.7. When i head to install the package via composer command : composer require spatie/larave-tags it resulted in a dependency error.

As shown in the error log, it requires illuminate/database ~5.5.0 which is i think operates with Laravel 5.5.

The docs were wrong: the latests version of this package requires Laravel 5.5. If you need to install it into an older version of the framework use v1.
