For changing for ALL controllers and actions you must add this in your config/main.php file:

[
     // ...
     'layout' => 'main',
     'components' => [
         //...
     ]
]

Change in one controller: 

class SiteController extends Controller

{

    public $layout='//layouts/main';

    public function init() {
        // ...
    }
    //...
}

Change just in one action:

public function actionIndex()
{
    $this->layout = 'mian';

    return $this->render('index', ['model' =>$model]);
}

Put your main.php or any layout files in views/layouts folder.

Use this in controllers: public $layout = '/main';

Or in actions: $this->layout = '/main';

In your Yii2 scaffolding should be there a directory

your_application/views/layouts

put the layout file main.php in this dir

(or edit or replace the existing one)

once you have done in the controllerAction where you need the new layout assign the layout 

$this->layout = 'main';

.

class YourController extends Controller
{
    ....
    public function actionYourAction()
    {
        .......

        $this->layout = 'main';
        return $this->render( ....        ]);
    }
