Updates

ContentBox is upgraded using CommandBox via the CLI.  If you are upgrading from minor to minor/patch level, most likely you won't need to follow an upgrade guide.  However, if you are upgrading between major versions make sure you visit each of the major versions' upgrade guide first.
Make a full backup
Make sure you backup your database and source, just in case.  We recommend running this against a development instance first and then moving on to production instances.
Update Command
When you are ready with your backups, open up a CommandBox shell using box in the root of your project.
Make sure your .env and credentials are seeded
1
# Run the update of the core dependencies
