How to update Laravel Installer for version 8.x?

Question

I used this command for installing Laravel Installer:

composer global require "laravel/installer"

For creating a project I use :

laravel new name --jet

on 8th September laravel 8.x was released, and I'm looking for installing it using the laravel command but I couldn't do it. Instead, a new laravel project was created with Laravel 7.x. I need some help.

Note: I can create a project with Laravel 8.x with this command, but I need to update my required Laravel and make a project with laravel 8.x and jetstream by using the laravel command:

The Error looks like this.....

and edit composer.json

and put

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

Yes, I do that but after the update installer when I type `laravel --version` it shows me the old one like 3.x – Tarik Manoar Sep 10 '20 at 06:42
@TarikManoar u need to restart `cmd` or `pc` after this – Kamlesh Paul Sep 10 '20 at 06:43
@TarikManoar then check your `/home/example_username/.config/composer` here `composer.json` file what version is showing – Kamlesh Paul Sep 10 '20 at 06:48

To see what version you have installed run laravel -V in your console and if it’s less than v4.0 you’ll need to update, and we have a tutorial on doing it, but typically it’s just a matter of running:

composer global require "laravel/installer:^4.0"
