I can’t install Jetstream to my Laravel project. When I use the command composer require laravel / jetstream
, it will generate the following error:
[InvalidArgumentException]
The laravel / jetstream package has a PHP requirement incompatible with your PHP version, PHP
extensions and
Composer version
My PHP version is 7.2.24
, and my Composer version is 2.0.8
.

Laravel Jetstream requires PHP version to be minimum 7.3 so you need to upgrade your PHP version to a minimum of 7.3. It would be better if you upgrade it to PHP 7.4 at least. As PHP 7.3 is now EOL – meaning no active support for PHP 7.3, only security fixes for one more year.

Laravel Jetstream also requires ext-json to be enabled for PHP. So depending upon your PHP version i.e. 7.3.x or 7.4.x or 8.x you need to install ext-json as well –
php7.3-json
orphp7.4-json
orphp8.0-json
I was having the exact same problem I just upgraded the version of my PHP 7.3 or above and you should also have laravel version 8 to use jetstream. So for upgrading the PHP version in xampp you can refer to this question.
