is PHP 8.2 required now?

[caston1981]

Hello,

I am trying to get up and running with the CI4 upgrade helper and I am already facing requirements issues.

I am running Ubuntu 22.04 which includes PHP 8.1 and so does the application I intend to migrate to CI4.

When I ran: composer create-project kenjis/ci4-app-template ci4-news

I get the following:

`Creating a "kenjis/ci4-app-template" project at "./ci4-news"

    - friendsofphp/php-cs-fixer is locked to version v3.49.0 and an update of this package was not requested.

Is there a way around this requirement?
Answering my own question but for now I have successfully installed with the previous version:

composer create-project kenjis/ci4-app-template=v43.2.0 ci4-news
