Hi everyone,

I try to migrate to Laminas from ZF 3.3.33 , but Zend framework wasn’t installed via Composer on the project. What is a way for update project Zend framework installation via Composer? Maybe exists some specific tools?

Thanks in advance.

I suggest starting with replacing the ZF installed manually, with 3.3.33 installed via composer, then moving on from there 🙂
