You can upgrade your Magento application from the command line if you installed the software by:
-
- Downloading the metapackage using
Copy to Clipboard
- Installing the compressed archive.
Do not use this method to upgrade if you cloned the Magento 2 GitHub repository.
The following instructions show you how to upgrade Magento using Composer.
- Magento 2.4.2 introduced support for Composer 2.
- If you are attempting to upgrade from Magento <2.4.1(“below 2.4.1” for example 2.4.0, 2.3.9, …), you must first upgrade to a version of Magento that is compatible with Composer 2 (for example, 2.4.2) using Composer 1 before upgrading to Composer 2 for Magento >2.4.2 (above 2.4.2 version) upgrades.
Prerequisites to prepare environment before starting the upgrade process:
- Check PHP and environment settings—Verify that PHP and other environment settings are compatible with the system requirements.
- Switch to maintenance mode—To prevent access to your store while it’s being upgraded, switch your store to maintenance mode:

- Install the Composer update plugin—The
magento/composer-root-update-pluginComposer plugin resolves changes that need to be made to the root projectcomposer.jsonfile before updating to a new Magento product requirement.The plugin partially automates the manual upgrade by identifying and helping you resolve dependency conflicts instead of requiring you to identify and fix them manually.
