As you can read in the error message
intervetion/image requires ext-fileinfo
You need to enable ext-fileinfo
by editing your php.ini
and change the following line by removing the ;
at the beginning.
From:
;extension=php_fileinfo.dll
To:
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
Find out which php.ini
to edit
Run php --ini
from a terminal. Make sure you run this command from terminal as the CLI version of PHP may have loaded another php.ini
than the web version. Your phpinfo()
may not contain the correct path.

As error describes, laraveldaily/quickadmin
requires intervention/image
which again requires ext-fileinfo
. This library is maintained by php_fileinfo.dll
php_fileinfo.dll
is a dll(library file) which contains modules to guess the content type and encoding of a file by looking for certain magic byte sequences at specific positions within the file.
To fix this error first go to the directory of your php installation.Go to the ext
folder and make sure that php_fileinfo.dll is present.
Now open your php.ini
file (To locate that, type php --ini
on the command line, also suggested by @peh) .
In the php --ini
file just add the following line.
extension=php_fileinfo.dll
and recheck with the composer.
