Is there anyone who can help me to install maatwebsite/excel - laravel

Question

I have tried to install composer require maatwebsite/excel and I have tried several times but still getting errors and I'm using laravel 9.23.0 and PHP v8.0.5 here is the error.
Using version ^3.1 for maatwebsite/excel
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update maatwebsite/excel
Loading composer repositories with package information

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- maatwebsite/excel[3.1.36, ..., 3.1.x-dev] require phpoffice/phpspreadsheet ^1.18 -> satisfiable by phpoffice/phpspreadsheet[1.18.0, ..., 1.24.1].
- maatwebsite/excel[3.1.0, ..., 3.1.25] require php ^7.0 -> your php version (8.0.5) does not satisfy that requirement.
- maatwebsite/excel[3.1.26, ..., 3.1.35] require illuminate/support 5.8.*|^6.0|^7.0|^8.0 -> found illuminate/support[v5.8.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev, 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.
- phpoffice/phpspreadsheet[1.18.0, ..., 1.24.1] require ext-gd * -> it is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's
gd extension.
- Root composer.json requires maatwebsite/excel ^3.1 -> satisfiable by maatwebsite/excel[3.1.0, ..., 3.1.x-dev].
To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- C:\xampp\php\php.ini
You can also run php --ini in a terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.
Alternatively, you can run Composer with --ignore-platform-req=ext-gd to temporarily ignore these required extensions.
You can also try re-running composer require with an explicit version constraint, e.g. "composer require maatwebsite/excel:*" to figure out if any version is installable, or "composer require maatwebsite/excel:^2.1" if you know which you need.
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Answer 1

According to docs the requirements are:
PHP: ^7.2\|^8.0
Laravel: ^5.8|^6.0|^7.0|^8.0
PhpSpreadsheet: ^1.21
psr/simple-cache: ^1.0
PHP extension php_zip enabled
PHP extension php_xml enabled
PHP extension php_gd2 enabled
PHP extension php_iconv enabled
PHP extension php_simplexml enabled
PHP extension php_xmlreader enabled
PHP extension php_zlib enabled
Go to the php.ini file by you xampp console. Search this ;extension=gd and remove ; then restart the server.
Check if the other php extension are enabled to.

Answer 2

As the error message mentioning it the PHP GD extension is missing on your system.
Google for install php gd for you system windows, mac, linux and follow the installation instructions.
For linux it will be:
sudo apt-get install php8.0-gd
If you are using a docker container, then you can use the following:
COPY --from=mlocati/php-extension-installer /usr/bin/install-php-extensions /usr/local/bin/
RUN install-php-extensions gd
After the gd extension is installed try to install the package again. If it fails check if there is another package missing and install it in a similar way.
