    There is, but you should not. There is a reason the install is blocked. Some functionality will not work. Why don't you just install the latest version of Laravel. Commented Sep 21, 2021 at 13:20

This message is telling you that no version of Laravel is available for the given version constraint (^7.0) and your PHP version.

Said otherwise all Laravel version from the 7.0 to the latest 7.x (^7.0) aren't compatible with your PHP version (which is probably too old).

You could also have missing extensions that are required by Laravel.

Three options here:

  • You try to fix those version problems and try again.
  • You bypass Composer checks by using the --ignore-platform-reqs flag: composer create-project --ignore-platform-reqs laravel/laravel:^7.0 blog. Composer will ignore the "platform requirements" and will install Laravel, however it might not work well.
  • You remove the version constraint and Composer will install the latest compatible Laravel version (if there is one, it depends on your extensions): composer create-project laravel/laravel blog.

You can check the PHP version by doing php --version, Laravel 7 requires at least PHP 7.2.
