48 | NOTE: {pmg} releases before 5.0 are not listed here. As they are all EOL (End | |
2b4388f7 | 49 | Of Life), it's highly recommended to upgrade to a newer version if still in use. |

52 | How can I upgrade {pmg} to the next release?:: | |
53 | ||
54 | Minor version upgrades, for example upgrading from {pmg} in version 5.1 | |
55 | to 5.2, can be done just like any normal update, either through the | |
2b4388f7 | 56 | __Node -> Updates__ panel or through the command line with: |

59 | apt update | |
60 | apt full-upgrade | |
61 | ---- | |
62 | + | |
2b4388f7 | 63 | NOTE: Always ensure you correctly set up the |
be5f2f9d TL |
64 | xref:pmg_package_repositories[package repositories] and only continue with the |
65 | actual upgrade if `apt update` did not hit any error. | |
66 | + | |
67 | Major version upgrades, for example going from {pmg} 5.4 to 6.0, are | |
68 | also supported. They must be carefully planned and tested and should | |
69 | *never* be started without having a current backup ready. | |
70 | Although the specific upgrade steps depend on your respective setup, we | |
71 | provide general instructions and advice of how a upgrade should be | |
