Do not ignore requirements, it might lead to future headaches. Check what php.ini is being used. run: php --ini and check what file is in use, then you need to edit that file in order to enable (add) that extension.

1. Open that php.ini on a text editor (running as admin)

2. Under the ExtensionList section add extension=php_fileinfo.dll

   [ExtensionList]

   extension=php_soap.dll

   extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

   extension=php_pdo_sqlite.dll

   extension=php_fileinfo.dll

Maybe you can try to do this. Run this command :

composer install --ignore-platform-reqs

Or

composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
