Hi Tom - One of the challenges for upgrading from 4.1.1 will be upgrading your project(s). This is because at version 4.2 we switched from Bower to Yarn for js dependencies because bower was getting deprecated. As Adam has mentioned, each version of Arches has the upgrade process outlined in the release notes: https://github.com/archesproject/arches/tree/master/releases. You could go from version to version following the upgrade instructions for each version. Alternatively, you could try the process below which is a bit shorter. I test the upgrade from version to version with each release, so it should go smoothly. I haven't tested the shortcut process below, but I think it should be fine. In either case, there are quite a few steps going from 4.1 to 4.4, so I would recommend creating a database backup and web server snapshot (if possible) before getting started.
*1. upgrade to version 4.3.1:* pip install arches==4.3.1 --upgrade --no-binary :all: pip uninstall pycryptodome, rdflib-jsonld pip install pycryptodome django-oauth-toolkit==1.1.2 PyLD[requests]==1.0.3 pyprind==2.11.2 python manage.py migrate python manage.py es delete_indexes python manage.py es setup_indexes python manage.py es index_database *2. follow the project upgrade steps in the 4.2.0 release notes starting with the yarn install:* https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/master/releases/4.2.0.md#installing-yarn *3. Then follow the project upgrade steps for version 4.3.1:* https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/master/releases/4.3.1.md#upgrading-an-arches-project *4. Upgrade to version 4.4.1:* pip install arches==4.4.1 --upgrade --no-binary :all: python manage.py migrate python manage.py es delete_indexes python manage.py es setup_indexes python manage.py es index_database *5. Then complete the project upgrades for 4.4.1:* https://github.com/archesproject/arches/blob/master/releases/4.4.1.md#upgrading-an-arches-project Hope that helps and that your upgrade goes smoothly. Let me know if you have any questions. - Cyrus On Thu, Oct 3, 2019 at 9:41 AM Adam Cox <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tom, one other thought, sometimes I like to just create a brand new > virtual environment and install the new version in there, leaving the > existing on as is.
