We recommend running all updates locally to eliminate downtime and any possibility of an unexpected change or timeout affecting your site.
Composer
If you installed with Composer, you can update your installation with the following command:
composer update statamic/cms --with-dependencies
Note: You may prefer to run composer update
to update all of your dependencies.
Statamic CLI
If you installed with Statamic CLI, you can update your installation with the following command:
statamic update
Control Panel
The Control Panel will inform you when updates are available.
From within the Tools → Updates section, Statamic will provide you with the appropriate Composer commands to run.
If you choose to install a non-latest version, your statamic/cms
Composer version dependency will be fixed to whichever explicit version you choose. To go back to a constraint-style version, you'll need to update your composer.json
file.
For example, if you chose v4.0.1
in the control panel, this will be your Composer constraint.
{
"require": {
"statamic/cms": "4.0.1",
}
}
To go back to a more traditional version range constraint, you may want to replace it with this:
{
"require": {
"statamic/cms": "^4.0",
}
}
