Upgrade 4.6.2 -> current version

[msman0]

Hi, I have an (old) installation V 4.6.2. How will be the upgrade path? Is it possible to upgrade to the current version directly? Must I update version to version?
Thanks a lot!

Hi, in theory direct upgrade to latest should be doable.

I do not know how you installed Lychee, but if you are using our docker image (recommended way), then just pick latest and you are good to go.

If you are using the release zip, please be sure to delete the app folder and vendor folder before transferring the folders from the zip. The reason is that overwrite is not enough and some files which have been deleted from one version to another will cause problems. Once that is done, apply the migration (php artisan migrate) and you are good to go.

If you are using the git versioning:

• pull the latest tag (6.5.1),
• run composer install --no-dev
• apply the migration: php artisan migrate
• install the npm dependencies: npm ci
• build the front-end npm run build

If you have any troubles, please tell us, and we will do our best to help you. Don't hesitate to read through past discussions too has it is likely that those troubles have been found before you.

I assumed it worked well.
