Updating your LemonStand copy

To update your LemonStand copy, please click the Modules and Updates submenu in the System menu. Click the Check for updates button. If there are any updates available, LemonStand will offer you to update the system. Please do not interrupt the update process until it complete.

LemonStand can display the Updates Available notification if it finds that some updates were published since a last system update. It checks for updates at least once every 24 hours. LemonStand does not inform system administrators about new updates immediately after the updates were published. You can subscribe to the release notes RSS feed on this page: /release-notes/ Then you will be notified about new updates as soon as we publish them.

Updating LemonStand in command-line mode

If you installed LemonStand in command-line mode, you should update it in the command-line mode as well, because most likely, the web server will not have writing permissions on the application files and directories.

To update LemonStand in command-line mode, open the SSH connection to the server and navigate to the LemonStand root directory. Execute the following command in the command line:

php index.php --update

You will need to enter your user name and password in order to update the application. Only administrator users can use the LemonStand command line interface. 

You can force-update LemonStand with --force flag:

php index.php --update --force
