# Getting started
Install Strapi alpha.21
globally on your computer. To do so run npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.21 -g
.
When it's done, generate a new empty project strapi new myNewProject
(don't pay attention to the database configuration).
# Update node modules
Update the Strapi's dependencies version (move Strapi's dependencies to 3.0.0-alpha.21
version) of your project.
Run npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.21 --save
to update your strapi version.
# Update the Admin
💡 TIP
If you performed updates in the Admin, you will have to manually migrate your changes.
Delete your old admin folder and replace it with the new one.
# Update the Plugins
💡 TIP
If you did a custom update on one of the plugins, you will have to manually migrate your update.
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 with the new one.
That's all, you have now upgraded to Strapi alpha.21
.
