Warning: This installation method might not be suitable for complex WordPress projects. The plugin installed this way will be self-contained and include all of the required dependencies for itself and rollbar/rollbar-php library. In complex projects, this might lead to version conflicts between dependencies and other plugins/packages. If this is an issue in your project, we recommend the "Advanced" installation method. For more information why this might be important for you, read Using Composer with WordPress.
