anyone who can help me, it will be very helpful.

Answer 1

First point: don't run composer with root permissions - there is no need, it will only cause problems later on.

Second point: this line shows everything:

symfony/event-dispatcher v4.0.1 requires php ^7.1.3 -> your PHP version (7.0.22) does not satisfy that requirement.

So: you're trying to install Symfony v4 which requires PHP in v7.1.3 or higher using PHP 7.0.22. That's simply not possible. Either update your PHP installation or use Symfony 3.4

Answer 2

Me funcionó:

1. sudo apt install php-xml
2. sudo apt-get install php-curl
3. sudo apt-get install php-mbstring
4. composer update
5. composer install

Answer 3

Add --ignore-platform-req=ext-fileinfo at the end of your package. For example: composer require jorenvanhocht/laravel-share --ignore-platform-req=ext-fileinfo
