使用 Composer 将 Laravel 4 更新到更新版本

Question

I'm using Laravel 4, and for example, there is a new version. Let say, Laravel 4.2. Can I update Laravel 4 by setting composer.json and using composer command ? I don't want to configure its files manually when there is a newer version.

composer.json:

"require": {
        "laravel/framework": "4.2.*@dev"
    },

in cmd:

composer update

Is it the correct way?

Answer 1

这是正确的，尽管您还需要查看官方文档并遵循官方升级指南，因为仍有一些文件可能需要根据您升级的版本手动更改。

Answer 2

For updating Laravel 6.x (Which means any subversions to V6)
Just run this command

cd [laravel installation directory]
composer update

You must have composer installed on your VM or PC.

For Linux users only:

Composer directory must be owned by current user

//Check ownership
ls -la ~/ | grep ".composer"

//If you don't own the directory
chown -R [user]/[user] ~/.composer
