@eacevedof not sure about PHP7 support, but see #233 for Composer 2

Thank you @avindra I was working with no issues till I had to rebuild my containers.

Issue #233 has the concerning info about this error.

Hey @eacevedof you should try changing the spec to run with the ignore flag:

composer global require hirak/prestissimo --ignore-platform-reqs

This informs composer that you know what you're doing and to ignore any specific PHP engine constraint.

I vaguely remember Composer1 + hirak/prestissimo + PHP7 working perfectly fine.

The better option is probably to use Composer 2 and uninstall prestissimo.

In any case, the latest release should still work well if you really need Composer 1.
