Testing Installation Configuration

Trying out testing in Laravel and have failed miserably.

I'm trying to run phpunit. In my terminal, I run vendor/phpunit/phpunit/phpunit but I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[', expecting ')' in /vendor/react/promise/src/functions.php on line 68

When I run the same command on another Laravel installation, I get the same error but that it's in the file:

vendor/guzzlehttp/psr7/src/functions.php on line 77

Have I done something wrong? Is there something else that I need to install to get testing to work?

Testing doesn't work with that version of PHP?
