All you need to do is install the main package, and you're good to go: ``` composer require rector/rector --dev ``` Use Sets -------- [](#use-sets) To add a set to your config, use `Rector\Set\ValueObject\DowngradeLevelSetList` class and pick target set: ``` use Rector\Config\RectorConfig; return RectorConfig::configure() ->withDowngradeSets(php72: true); ``` Then run Rector to downgrade your code to PHP 7.2! ``` vendor/bin/rector ``` How the Downgrade Workflow looks? --------------------------------- [](#how-the-downgrade-workflow-looks) It's simple in the nature.
