Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running 7.4.11

I would like to use Php 8.0 in my homestead but i run into this error when i open the site "Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.0.0". You are running 7.4.11"

In my composer.json :

"require": {
        "php": "^8.0" 

Running php --version in homestead machine (Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) gives this :

PHP 8.0.0rc1 (cli) (built: Oct 10 2020 14:16:46) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) The PHP Group
Zend Engine v4.0.0-dev, Copyright (c) Zend Technologies
    with Zend OPcache v8.0.0rc1, Copyright (c), by Zend Technologies 

I've seen somewhere that there's a difference between web php version and CLI version, but i'm not sure if that's related.

Make sure your CLI and web version of PHP is same or not ??.

check your web version by phpinfo();, either both are same or not!!!

if not then in your Homestead.yaml, you can specify a PHP version of your site.

sites:
-
    map: mywebsite.test
    to: /home/vagrant/code/public
    php: "8.0"
