Installation on php 5.6 fails

[proggeler]

ErrorException: dirname() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given is thrown (second argument was added php 7)

Hey @proggeler,

You're very right! I'd say we change composer.json to require php 7.0 and up since php 5 is pretty much EOL and won't even work with newer versions of Laravel.

I'm ok with that.

I also would remove the dirname() completely and use __DIR__ . '/../../config instead. (with the correct amount of level ups) It saves a function call that is not really needed since you gonna use the realpath anyway.
