laravel newsletter spatie is not installing in laravel 5.8

Question

I am trying to install spatie laravel newsletter package but i am getting an error message

Problem 1 - Root composer.json requires spatie/laravel-newsletter ^4.9 -> satisfiable by spatie/laravel-newsletter[4.9.0]. - spatie/laravel-newsletter 4.9.0 requires illuminate/support ^6.0|^7.0|^8.0 -> found illuminate/support[v6.0.0, ..., 6.x-dev, v7.0.0, ..., 7.x-dev, v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.

Installation failed, reverting./composer.json and./composer.lock to their original content.

my composer.json file looks like this

        "post-root-package-install": [
            "@php -r \"file_exists('.env') || copy('.env.example', '.env');\""
        ],
        "post-create-project-cmd": [
            "@php artisan key:generate --ansi"
        ]
    }
}

Not able to understand how to resolve the issue. I can't upgrate laravel 5.8 to 8 because it will take a lot of time.

Answer 1

Go to the Packagist page for spatie/laravel-newsletter and find a version of the package that supports Laravel 5.8.

Looks like 4.8.2 will do:

Run composer require "spatie/laravel-newsletter:~4.8.2" .
