from solidity:
ParserError: Source file requires different compiler version (current compiler is 0.8.7+commit.e28d00a7.Emscripten.clang) - note that nightly builds are considered to be strictly less than the released version

@praizeroman Make sure your solidity version is the same as the code you copied from the repo.

This is happening because you don't have the solidity 0.8.8 compiler installed. If you want to use the solidity 0.8.8 version, make sure you have defined the version in your project's hardhat.config file.

If you want to use multiple versions of solidity in a single project, this is how you can do it from hardhat.config file -

const config = {
  solidity: {
    compilers: [
      { version: '0.8.7' },
      { version: '0.8.8' },
      { version: '0.8.0' },
      { version: '0.6.6' },
      { version: '0.6.0' },
    ],
  },
};
