Upgrading Magento Version from 2.3.x to 2.4.x • Dev Hooks • devhooks.in

In this article, I will explain how to upgrade your Magento version from Magento 2.x.x to Magento 2.x.x using Command-Line Interface (CLI). We'll recommend you to apply upgrade in your staging site and test everything before you apply this method on your live store.

Step 1: Access Your Server via SSH

You need to connect your server via SSH.

Step 2: Navigate to the Magento 2 Root Directory

Once your SSH connection is up, you will need to move to your target application folder. In that application folder, you will find the public_html folder which is the root directory of Magento 2.

Step 3: Upgrade Commands

Please follow the same order and use the commands listed below:

Copy

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.5 --no-update

If you are using Adobe commerce cloud and want to update version the you need to run the below command.

Copy

composer require "magento/magento-cloud-metapackage":">=2.4.5 <2.4.6" --no-update

Note: As 2.4.5 is the latest version, these numbers can be changed accordingly. You can also Upgrade Magento 2.x.x to 2.x.x using the same process. you just need to change the version 2.x.x.

Copy

composer update

If you are getting any error-related platform requirements then run the below command.

Copy

composer update --ignore-platform-reqs
