Hello , i get the following error when trying to run mautic installation on shared hostgator account. Please support on the issue. There was a recommendation in other thread to upgrade the PHP. I am not sure if such upgrade may result something unexpected on my main website. Any support here will help. I can also try to install it on my staging subdomain. but i am not sure if the PHP for the subdomain can be upgraded independantly from main domain.

ok , i SSH into the webhost, and used CLI, found out that the version i am running for PHP is 5.6.30

Kindly advise as it seems the CLI does not confirm to the requirements for PHP.
