magento 2 extension composer update error - Please update your modules: Run “composer install” from the Magento root directory

Question

My Siteground shared hosting plan does not allow me to use composer (memory limit). How can I fix this issue? is there a way to manually update it without composer? or how can I disable this module? Thanks!

Answer 1

Did you ever manage to resolve this? I am having the same issue. We recently signed up to Siteground and are trying to upgrade our website from Magento 2.2.5 to Magento 2.3.

When trying to run Composer Update I have the exact same problem.

I tried running commands such as 'php -d memory_limit=512M /usr/local/bin/composer update' but no luck what so ever.

Any help with this would be so much appreciated!

I had to cloned the magento site to the local computer and run it using xampp, and run those composer commands and upload the changes back to siteground.

Answer 2

Try this:

php -d memory_limit=512M /usr/local/bin/composer update

Let me know if not solved!
