    It seems like you’re facing troubles installing or updating packages with Composer in XAMPP due to missing zip-related tools and extensions. To fix this, follow these steps:

    1. Enable Zip Extension:

      Open your XAMPP installation folder, go to the "php" directory, and locate the php.ini file. Look for the line containing extension=php_zip.dll and remove the semicolon at the beginning to enable the extension.

    2. Install 7-Zip:

      If you’re using Windows, download and install 7-Zip from its official website: https://www.7-zip.org/.

    3. Install Unzip (Unix-like systems):

      For Unix-like systems (Linux, macOS), use your package manager to install unzip. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run: sudo apt-get install unzip.

    4. Restart XAMPP:

      After making changes, restart your XAMPP server.

    Now, you should be able to run Composer without issues:

    Make sure the version of laravel you are trying to install in supported by your current computer setup

    Make sure you have these:

    On Mac:

    Latest Version of Composer
Latest version of php 
Latest version of node

    On Windows:

    Latest Version of xampp, node and composer

    Small Suggestion: Use VS Code Terminal instead of command prompt (If you are on Windows)

    After you satisfy all these requirements

    Create New laravel project with following command:

    composer create-project laravel/laravel projectname

    If you still encounter issues use the following command to ignore the platform requirements:

    composer create-project laravel/laravel projectname --ignore-platform-reqs

    This should solve your problem. Thanks!
