Laravel 5.8 had the following requirements:

  2. Composer: You need Composer, a dependency manager for PHP, to install and manage Laravel and its dependencies.
  3. BCMath PHP Extension: Laravel 5.8 requires the BCMath PHP extension.
  4. Ctype PHP Extension: The Ctype PHP extension must be enabled.
  5. JSON PHP Extension: Laravel relies on the JSON extension for various operations.
  6. Mbstring PHP Extension: The Mbstring PHP extension is also required.
  7. OpenSSL PHP Extension: Laravel uses OpenSSL for various encryption and hashing functionalities.

Please note that these requirements might change with future Laravel versions, and it’s always a good idea to check the official Laravel documentation for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, Laravel might have evolved, and newer versions could be available beyond Laravel 5.8 as of my last update.
