thedevdojo/chatter SQLSTATE[HY000] foreign key constraint

I am trying to install a Chatter forums on my Laravel application. When I reach the php artisan migrate stage, I receive this error:

Migrating: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_categories_table Migrated: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_categories_table Migrating: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_discussion_table Migrated: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_discussion_table Migrating: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_post_table Migrated: 2016_07_29_171118_create_chatter_post_table Migrating: 2016_07_29_171128_create_foreign_keys

I have searched around and it seems that Laravel 5.8+ uses BigInteger by default and this package does not support that.

Is there any way I can fix this? I have done a rollback after receiving this error.
