How to update Magento from the command line?

Step 1. Make the following prerequisites:

  • Determine if your current catalog search engine is supported
  • Check the Upgrade and Upgrade checklist
  • Set the root of the pub/ directory
  • Review PHP and environment setting
  • Turn to maintenance mode
  • Review the status of cron jobs
  • Install Composer Update Plugin:

Do this to install the plugin:

composer require magento/composer-root-update-plugin=~1.0 --no-update

 

 

To update dependencies:

composer update

 

 

Step 2. Managing packages:

Make a backup copy of your composer.json file.

Add or remove specific packages based on your needs.

composer remove magento/product-community-edition --no-update

 

 

Specify Magento 2 packages by including the edition and version you want to upgrade to in the upgrade command:

Open source:

composer require magento/product-community-edition=2.4.7 --no-update

 

Commerce:

composer require magento/product-enterprise-edition=2.4.7 --no-update

 

Step 3. Updating meta:

Update the "name""version", and "description" in the composer.json file bases on your needs.

After that, apply the updates:

composer update

 

Now clean the var/ and created/ subdirectories:

rm -rf var/cache/*
rm -rf var/page_cache/*
rm -rf generated/code/*

 

Update the schema and database data with the following Magento setup upgrade command:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

 

Disable maintenance mode.

bin/magento maintenance:disable

 

Restart Varnish if you use it to cache pages:

service varnish restart

 

Step 4. Check the work:

Open the URL of your page in a browser to check if the update was successful. If the update was unsuccessful, then your page will not load as expected.
