"Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages"

I'm attempting to run an existing Laravel project that I downloaded from GitHub. When I type 'composer update,' I encounter the following error (please refer to the attached image).

Could the reason behind this error be that my PHP version doesn't match the version specified in the project I downloaded?
