I don’t why I receive this error, because my PHP version is 7.4.8 and I just downloaded and installed Composer.

So if you know how can I solve this problem, please let me know, I would really appreciate that…

    Windows:

    This will work if you have mcrypt extension dll file already present

    1. Edit php.ini
    2. add extension=mcrypt.so on Dynamic Extension section
    3. restart server

    If mcrypt not present.

    Install mcrypt dll file from below link based on your php version
    https://pecl.php.net/package/mcrypt/1.0.3/windows

    place your dll file at location F:xamppphpext

    Ubuntu:

    Try installing mcrypt extension by below commands, you need to install mcrypt based on your php version

    //check php version
php -v

//for php version 5
sudo apt-get install mcrypt
sudo apt-get install php5-mcrypt

//for php version 7.2
sudo apt-get -y install gcc make autoconf libc-dev pkg-config
sudo pecl install mcrypt-1.0.1
sudo apt-get -y install php7.2-dev
sudo apt-get -y install libmcrypt-dev

    After mcrypt installs properly, go ahead with your laravel installation

    composer create-project laravel/laravel {directory} "5.0.*" --prefer-dist

    Refer to laravel documentation for Laravel 5.0 installation
