Upgrade

The Fast Path commands can also be used to upgrade to the latest version of FusionAuth. Follow the steps documented below.

macOS and Linux

In this example, we’ll assume you have previously installed FusionAuth in /home/example/dev/fusionauth (or somewhere in your home directory) and this directory will be referred to FUSIONAUTH_HOME. If you have used a different directory, you can adjust the following example accordingly.

Shutdown FusionAuth

# Stop Services
<FUSIONAUTH_HOME>/bin/shutdown.sh

Then, run the same FastPath command you ran above to install FusionAuth from the parent directory of FUSIONAUTH_HOME (if FUSIONAUTH_HOME is /home/example/dev/fusionauth, run the command from /home/example/dev).

After FusionAuth has been upgraded, you can start it again using the same start command from above as well. For example, on macOS you would run this command:

Start FusionAuth

# Start Services
<FUSIONAUTH_HOME>/bin/startup.sh

Windows

Please note, that versions equal to 1.37.0 and less than 1.40.0 did not have a native Windows install option. It is recommended to plan to install version 1.40.0 or later.

In this example, we’ll assume you have previously installed FusionAuth in \Users\example\dev\fusionauth and this directory will be referred to FUSIONAUTH_HOME. If you have used a different directory you can adjust the following example accordingly.

First, terminate the running FusionAuth App and Search services. Prior to version 1.40.0 if you are not using Windows services, you will need to manually end the FusionAuth process by closing the interactive command shell window. Beginning in version 1.40.0, please utilize the following shutdown command.

Shutdown FusionAuth services

# Stop Services
<FUSIONAUTH_HOME>\bin\shutdown.ps1

Then, run the same FastPath install command you ran above to install FusionAuth from the parent directory of FUSIONAUTH_HOME (if FUSIONAUTH_HOME is \Users\example\dev\fusionauth, run this command from \Users\example\dev).

After FusionAuth has been upgraded, you can start it again using the same start command from above as well. Prior to version 1.37.0, the startup command will be named startup.bat instead of startup.ps1.
