Can you provide the official website of bookstack? If it is open source software, I can try to check the installation problems for you

Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- The requested PHP extension ext-tidy * is missing from your system. Install or enable PHP's tidy extension.
Problem 2
- Installation request for gathercontent/htmldiff 0.2.1 -> satisfiable by gathercontent/htmldiff[0.2.1].
- gathercontent/htmldiff 0.2.1 requires ext-tidy * -> the requested PHP extension tidy is missing from your system.

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /www/server/php/72/etc/php.ini
You can also run php --ini inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Install php using compilation
Execute the following command
centos:
yum install libtidy libtidy-devel -y
ubuntu:
apt-get install libtidy-dev -y

Note, change 72 to the php version you want

cd /www/server/php/72/src/ext/tidy
/www/server/php/72/bin/phpize
./configure --with-php-config=/www/server/php/72/bin/php-config
make && make install
echo "extension = tidy.so" >> /www/server/php/72/etc/php.ini
service php-fpm-72 restart
