Upgrade Magento 2.1.3 to latest 2.1.7

Question

My Magento version is 2.1.3 and i need to upgrade it to latest version which is currently 2.1.7

Should i upgrade to 2.1.7 directly or should i upgrade version by version like 2.1.3 to 2.1.4 then 2.1.4 to 2.1.5 likewise

will it create any errors if i directly upgrade to latest version?

Answer 1

Yes you can directly upgrade your magento version from 2.1.3 to 2.1.7 using composer.

It will not create any error if you upgrade it correctly.

The reason behind is If you have read release notes - http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.1/release-notes/bk-release-notes.html Few releases have only security updates and few have only copyright date update in all files(2.1.6). so there is no major changes at directories and files level

Below are the commands how to upgrade it .

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.1.7 --no-update
(pass required update version number)

composer update
rm -rf var/di var/generation
php bin/magento cache:flush
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento indexer:reindex
