For future ref you can find the Craft version you need from the database in the craft_info table and download a specific version as per https://craftcms.com/guides/downloading-previous-craft-versions

<p>I've inherited an existing website created using CraftCMS and hosted on Fortrabbit.</p>

<p>I'm fairly new to CraftCMS but anxious to get started on a couple of updates. The site currently exists on Fortrabbit.

# Importing Craft CMS Locally

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-01-22)

I've inherited an existing website created using CraftCMS and hosted on Fortrabbit.

I'm fairly new to CraftCMS but anxious to get started on a couple of updates. The site currently exists on Fortrabbit. I have SSH and SFTP access and can see the files and have a fresh version of CraftCMS locally installed but unsure how to bring in the files. I'm aware it's built on the server so just not sure what parts I need to bring locally.

I have already grabbed and imported the DB to the MySQL content but just need this last step.

Many thanks.
