I failed to install my laravel 8 app on live server with PHP 7.3

Question

I tried to upload my laravel 8 app on remote server with ubuntu 18 and PHP 7.3.26-1+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1

but I got error running composer :

 composer install
Do not run Composer as root/super user! See https://getcomposer.org/root for details
No lock file found. Updating dependencies instead of installing from lock file. Use composer update over composer install if you do not have a lock file.
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

  Problem 1
    - Root composer.json requires unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji 1.0.* -> satisfiable by unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji[1.0.0].
    - Conclusion: don't install laravel/framework v8.26.1 (conflict analysis result)
    - unicodeveloper/laravel-emoji 1.0.0 requires illuminate/support 5.* -> satisfiable by illuminate/support[v5.0.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev].
    - Only one of these can be installed: illuminate/support[dev-master, v5.0.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev, v6.0.0, ..., 6.x-dev, v7.0.0, ..., 7.x-dev, v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev], laravel/framework[v8.26.1, 8.x-dev]. laravel/framework replaces illuminate/support and thus cannot coexist with it.
    - Root composer.json requires laravel/framework ^8.26.1 -> satisfiable by laravel/framework[v8.26.1, 8.x-dev].

On my local server (also ubuntu 18 ) I have PHP 7.4.13

        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "@php artisan key:generate --ansi"
        ]
    }
}

Is it issue of PHP 7.3/PHP 7.4 difference and how it can be fixed ?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe you could use this package instead: https://github.com/spatie/emoji It requires php ^7.2|^8.0 so should work on both your environments.
