Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.

Laravel framewok verion - php artisan --version -> Laravel Framework 7.5.1

MongoDB version -> 4.0.5

PHP version -> 7.4.3

PHP driver for mongodb is installed.

Answer 1

Don't know the pros and cons of it, but this worked for me.

composer require jenssegers/mongodb:*

Answer 2

Had the same problem even after running composer require jenssegers/mongodb:dev-develop

doing this helped me: composer require jenssegers/mongodb:dev-develop --ignore-platform-reqs

Answer 3

I had the same problem. After checking their Github issues, I got the below solution which worked for me.

composer require jenssegers/mongodb:dev-develop

Answer 4

Try - composer require jenssegers/mongodb dev-develop

As it might still be under development for laravel version 7

Answer 5

It seems like jenssegers/mongodb in it's current form only supports the illuminate-ecosystem (and therefore Laravel) up to version 6.

Therefore you'd have to downgrade laravel to the newest version in the 6-range.

7 is just available since 5 weeks, so it may take some time until other packages in the eco-system have updated version constraints.

Answer 6

Before package installation you need to install PHP driver for MongoDB. You can install it by pecl as follows:

sudo pecl install mongodb

For more detailed info you can see here.

next you can run your mongodb by this command:

sudo service mongod start

For windows and mac, you can their own alternatives.
