Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 7.21.0-CodePudding

Hi all I keep getting "Could not find package laravel/laravel with version 7.21.0" on composer install of Laravel. Fresh installation.

I have ran composer global require laravel/installer

I have tried a number of combinations of the below, but they all result in the error message in the subject, or, the installation of the latest build 7.30.0

composer create-project laravel/laravel:^7.21.0 appName
composer create-project laravel/laravel:^7.21.0 appName "7.21.0"
composer create-project laravel/laravel appName 7.21.0

This is a migration and since my app uses a handful of additional extensions, I want to keep the legacy version.

Thanks

It's simply because that version of laravel (7.21.0) doesn't exist.

Nonetheless, to Install specific version using laravel installer

Using composer you can specify the version you want easily by running

composer create-project laravel/laravel="5.1.*" myProject

Using the 5.1.* will ensure that you get all the latest patches in the 5.1 branch.

Side note: Laravel v7.28.0 to v7.0.0 requires php: ^7.2.5

try this command I hope this will help you. Instead of 4.2 you can write whatever the version you want to use in your project.

composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name 4.2.*
