Add PHP 8 Support about installer HOT 8 CLOSED

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).

from installer.

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

Who is talking about laravel 6?

from installer.

You are:

• illuminate/support v6.18.41

from installer.

C:\Users\Florian>composer global require laravel/installer
Changed current directory to C:/Users/Florian/AppData/Roaming/Composer
Using version ^4.1 for laravel/installer
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update laravel/installer
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
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.

from installer.

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

from installer.

composer global update and then upgrade the installer worked. You command didnt

from installer.

Update your composer.json file with my below code and then add your added package under "require": { } object, It will work
don't forget run command update composer
