Question

When I run composer install on command promp, there exist error like this :

  Problem 1
    - Installation request for laravel/horizon v1.1.0 ->         


        

Answer 1

If you're running on windows 10 without homestead you can enable the linux subsystem and run horizon through that.

https://www.windowscentral.com/how-install-bash-shell-command-line-windows-10

Then install the requirements

sudo apt install php7.2-fpm php7.2-mbstring php7.2-xmlrpc php7.2-soap php7.2-gd php7.2-xml php7.2-cli php7.2-zip php7.2-mysql

This also can run laravel envoy too which doesn't work on windows.

It's a nice lightweight solution
