[[faq-upgrade]]
|
|
How can I upgrade {pmg} to the next release?::
|
|
|
|
Minor version upgrades, for example upgrading from {pmg} in version 5.1
|
|
to 5.2, can be done just like any normal update, either through the
|
|
__Node -> Updates__ panel or through the command line with:
|
|
+
|
|
----
|
|
apt update
|
|
apt full-upgrade
|
|
----
|
|
+
|
|
NOTE: Always ensure you correctly set up the
|
|
xref:pmg_package_repositories[package repositories] and only continue with the
|
|
actual upgrade if `apt update` did not hit any error.
|
|
+
|
|
Major version upgrades, for example going from {pmg} 5.4 to 6.0, are
|
|
also supported. They must be carefully planned and tested and should
|
|
*never* be started without having a current backup ready.
|
|
Although the specific upgrade steps depend on your respective setup, we
|
|
provide general instructions and advice of how a upgrade should be
|
|
performed:
