I'm mantaining an old project, started with laravel 5.4, and now lifted up to laravel 8.
It's all working.
Now I'm in need to install laravel-datatables.
Looking at doc, I discarded v10 because it requires Laravel 9+ For same reason, I discarded also v9 So I'm trying to install laravel-datatables v8
composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle:^8.0
I got this
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle 8.0 -> satisfiable by yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle[v8.0.0].
- yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle v8.0.0 requires illuminate/database 5.4.*|5.5.* -> found illuminate/database[v5.4.0, ..., 5.5.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
I am not able to understand which package/require is conflicting with this package.
This my package.json

Trying to install v9 ...
Problem 1
- Root composer.json requires yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle 9 -> satisfiable by yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle[v9.0.0].
- yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle v9.0.0 requires illuminate/database 5.8.* -> found illuminate/database[v5.8.0, ..., 5.8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.
As written in the error message: yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle in v8 is only compatible with Laravel v5, and you are using Laravel v8.
Try to use composer require yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle:^9.0 - this version is compatible with Laravel v5 to v8. Next time you are facing such a problem, have a look at the constraints of different versions of the package. Packagist has a pretty nice overview of the compatible versions, for example at https://packagist.org/packages/yajra/laravel-datatables-oracle#v9.21.2 where you can see the dependencies for the latest v9 version of that datatables package
