Answer 1

I think the issue is that you are trying to install latest socialite package for the Laravel 5.3 which needs at least Laravel 5.4.

Problem 1 - laravel/socialite v3.0.0 requires illuminate/http ~5.4 -> satisfiable by 

Try to install on Laravel 5.4.

Check this:

https://github.com/laravel/socialite/blob/3.0/composer.json

"require": {
        "php": ">=5.4.0",
        "illuminate/contracts": "~5.4",
        "illuminate/http": "~5.4",
        "illuminate/support": "~5.4",
        "guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~6.0",
        "league/oauth1-client": "~1.0"
    },

It requires 5.4

OR

As an alternative you can use the older version of socialite which is compatible with Laravel 5.3 like:

composer require laravel/socialite 2.0
