Trying to Install via Composer Problem

[vestaxpdx]

Hi

I have a strange issue. I am following the example here: https://docs.laravel-excel.com/3.1/getting-started/installation.html

When composer finishes it's thing it doesn't give any major errors but ends with.

@php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-assets --ansi --force
INFO  No publishable resources for tag [laravel-assets].
Using version ^1.1 for maatwebsite/excel

I then go and try

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config

Which gives

INFO No publishable resources for tag [config].

What is happening here? Any help appreciated.

Ignoring those errors just yields 'Interface "Maatwebsite\Excel\Concerns\ToModel" not found' when I try and run my import code.

I have also tried manually adding

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider::class,
]

and

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'Excel' => Maatwebsite\Excel\Facades\Excel::class,
]

But that then completely breaks my entire app with these errors

Method Illuminate\Foundation\Application::share does not exist.

I am using Laravel 10.24.0 and PHP 8.2.4

This issue was to do with the GD module not being installed on my local PHP dev environment which forced only v1.1 to be installed.

I wish composer was more verbose and mention that in the first place. Would of saved me a bunch of time on an easy mistake. :D
