The latest Laravel installer will be essential to your workflow which includes support for Jetstream.

The new version also uses composer create-project behind the scenes instead of downloading an archive from Laravel’s build servers.

Update the latest version of laravel/installer with any of the following approaches:

1. Update to ^4.0 via composer require

composer global require "laravel/installer:^4.0"

2. Uninstall and Re-install the package via Composer

composer global remove laravel/installer
composer global require laravel/installer

3. Update the global composer.json file and run composer update

{
    "require": {
        "laravel/installer": "^4.0",
    }  }

composer global update

Verifying the Update

laravel --version
