Make sure to follow the documentation for the specific version of Laravel-medialibrary that you are using. In your case version 7. It looks like you were following the version 8 documentation.

In version 7, the trait is Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia\HasMediaTrait instead of Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia. And the interface is Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia\HasMedia instead of Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia.

If you want to use version 8 instead, change your requirements to "spatie/laravel-medialibrary": "^8.0" and then run composer update.
