Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.

Also if i try to use php artisan i get this error now, i'm using Laravel 8 and PHP 7.4.14

I have now completly reinstalled Laravel and it works now, but on the new instalation i can't use laravel/passport and spatie/laravel-permissions together if i insall one of these two then composer uninstall the other page but it's okay.

This is somehow lately often with Spatie Packages, that there still missing configs are not taken into account. :(

1. Remove the package:

composer remove spatie/laravel-settings

2. Copy the config file (settings.php) to Your config folder

3. Run config cache

php artisan config:cache

4. Install the package

composer require spatie/laravel-settings
