I cannot install silverstripe 4

I'm trying to install on my VPS, LAMP technology, SS 4.01 but I have an error. I already have 3 websites made on 3.x SS that are working.

Installing SilverStripe... I am now running through the installation steps (this should take about 30 seconds)

If you receive a fatal error, refresh this page to continue the installation

This error happens because the packaged installer you've used from the SilverStripe website was built for PHP 7, and contains dependencies that are compatible with PHP 7 but not PHP 5 (which you're using).

You can track this issue on GitHub here: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/issues/7709

To fix it, remove the vendor folder in your project and recreate it using composer update.
