phpstan/phpstan-shim
====================

[](#phpstanphpstan-shim)

**Thank you for using PHPStan!**

With the release of **PHPStan 0.12**, the primary Composer package used by most users, `phpstan/phpstan`, has switched to a PHAR file. It works the same way as `phpstan-shim`. The need for a separate PHAR distribution has ceased. Package `phpstan/phpstan-shim` is no longer needed.

You should upgrade to `phpstan/phpstan` 0.12 with the following steps:

1. In your composer.json, rewrite line with `"phpstan/phpstan-shim"`to `"phpstan/phpstan": "^0.12"`.
2. Delete your `composer.lock`.
3. Delete `vendor/phpstan` directory.
4. Delete `vendor/bin/phpstan` and `vendor/bin/phpstan.phar`.
5. Run composer install.

If you have any problem upgrading, don't hesitate to describe your issue at:
