You probably have already figured this out, but I merely included the new required code:

<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Slim\App;
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
    $name = $request->getAttribute('name');
    $response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");

    return $response;
});
$app->run();

Everything else in this video works exactly the same.

New code is:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new \Slim\App();

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function($req, $rsp, $args ){
    echo "Hello {$args['name']}";
});

$app->run();

I installed Slim 3 also and found that the syntax is significantly different from that of version 2. In order to follow on with the video, this is what I did in workspaces to remove v3 and install version 2:

treehouse:~/workspace$ composer remove slim/slim

treehouse:~/workspace$ composer update

treehouse:~/workspace$ composer require slim/slim:~2.0

You can find The Slim version 2 docs as shown on the video here.
