Install either as a separate ruleset and run it separately against your code or add it to your custom ruleset, like so:
```xml
<config name="testVersion" value="7.0-"/>
<config name="testVersion" value="7.2-"/>
<rule ref="PHPCompatibilityWP">
<include-pattern>*\.php$</include-pattern>
</rule>
```

Whichever way you run it, do make sure you set the `testVersion` to run the sniffs against. The `testVersion` determines for which PHP versions you will receive compatibility information. The recommended setting for this at this moment is `7.0-` to support the same PHP versions as WordPress Core supports.
