Here are the Requirements for running CakePHP 2.x

As longs as you have those you should be fine.

And make sure you read this migration guide here

There are no breaking changes, but still worth a read.

Also learn about [**testing**](https://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/testing.html). Your application should be properly covered by tests so that you can easily check for possible problems after making changes, being it an upgrade, adding functionality, fixing bugs, etc... – ndm May 07 '18 at 09:32

Migration guides are basically a change log and **not** a guide for steps to take to perform an actual migration. Good luck finding those steps. It seems every CakePHP dev makes the assumption you magically have this knowledge. – RyanNerd May 02 '19 at 16:35
