It doesnt work if you are installing a new flarum. Composer requires php 8+
Also update doesnt work through composer

wbntff composer does not require php 8+, it ran fine for many major versions previously too. Update should also work just fine. Something else must be the problem. Please create a new support discussion and post your details so that we can actually help instead of guess what the issue is.

On a fresh install with php 7.4 this was the message

Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2".

composer create-project flarum/flarum . command ran well at terminal but after that when browser is pointed to the directory where files are installed, above message appears.
This happened with flarum 1.2 as well

wbntff this is probably caused due an extension demanding a higher php version. Can you share your php flarum info output?

luceos above was from existing installation. But I got the ‘ composer needs pop 8.0.2’ message on a fresh 1.3 version flarum installation when pointed to on browser

wbntff that is probably caused by using composer on the commandline with php 8+ then running the installer from your browser where the installer is being served from a lower version. Composer has this check built-in if I remember correctly. It makes sense as you've installed dependencies for a different php version and things might break.

luceos No.. i have one running flarum installation in a subdomain which is on php 8+. I've flarum 1.2 version there and above flarum info was from that...
other domain is on php 7.4 and here composer does copy all files but once i try to install through browser, it asks for php 8+
This is a fresh flarum 1.3 install on php 7.4
even

php flarum info

command returns this message on command line

Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.2". You are running 7.4.28.
