💡 TIP

Feel free to join us on Slack (opens new window) and ask questions about the migration process.

Getting started

Install Strapi alpha.11.1 globally on your computer. To do so run npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.11.1 -g.

When it's done, generate a new empty project strapi new myNewProject (don't pay attention to the database configuration).

Configurations

You will have to update just 1 file: package.json

• Edit the Strapi's dependencies version: (move Strapi's dependencies to 3.0.0-alpha.11.1 version) in package.json file

{
  "dependencies": {
    "lodash": "4.x.x",
    "strapi": "3.0.0-alpha.11.1",
    "strapi-mongoose": "3.0.0-alpha.11.1"
  }
}

Update the Admin

Delete your old admin folder and replace it by the new one.

Update the Plugins

Copy this file /plugins/users-permissions/config/jwt.json from your old project and paste it in the corresponding one in your new project.

Copy the fields and relations you had in your /plugins/users-permissions/models/User.settings.json and /plugins/users-permissions/config/jwt.json file in the new one.

Then, delete your old plugins folder and replace it by the new one.

Update the Dependencies

Now let's update the dependencies in your package.json we edited earlier. Simply run npm install:

That's all, you have now upgraded to Strapi alpha.11.
