Maatwebsite Excel with Laravel 9 and PHP 8 - php

Question

I installed Maatwebsite with Laravel 9 and PHP 8 using this command composer require maatwebsite/excel:* . Then I got this notice at the end of the installation:
I then register it in the config/app.php and I run
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Maatwebsite\Excel\ExcelServiceProvider" --tag=config
I got this:
Here is my config/app.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Facade;

I tried to install Maatwebsite/Excel but wasn't working out for me, I was receiving error which I don't get the source.

Go to the php.ini file and remove ;

;extension=gd
after

execute the command to change your cache
composer require psr/simple-cache ^2.0
Then install maatwebsiteexcel
