# Installation

## Requirements

* PHP: `^7.1`
* Laravel: `^5.5`
* Laravel Nova:`Orion`
* Laravel Excel: `^3.0`

## Installation

Before installing the package, make sure you have set-up Laravel Nova.

Require this package (`maatwebsite/laravel-nova-excel`) in the `composer.json` of your Laravel project or run the following command in your console:

```
composer require psr/simple-cache:^2.0 maatwebsite/laravel-nova-excel
```

If composer require fails on Laravel 9 because of the simple-cache dependency, you will have to specify the psr/simple-cache version as ^2.0 in your composer.json to satisfy the PhpSpreadsheet dependency. You can install both at the same time as.

## Service Provider

In case you don't have auto-discovery enabled, you'll have to add the following two service providers in `config/app.php`:

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