How to update Business Suite?

Manual Update Steps

Important: Before updating Manually, Make a Full Backup. A full backup should be taken of both the Business Suite files and the database.

Begin by ensuring your server meets the system requirements for the new version.
The current version of Business Suite requires-

PHP 8.0+
MySQL 5.7+
Mbstring PHP Extension
PDO PHP Extension
GD
JSON

Download the latest version from the dashboard.

Extract the files, then replace all files on the server. It's easier to upload the zipped copy of files and extract them directly from the server. For example, in cPanel, you can do this. Or, if you are using VPS, you can use unzip command in the terminal.
After doing this, just log in normally & you will be redirected to an update page where it will update the database schema if needed.
Your update is now complete.

How does it work?

The zip file does not come with the config file where your database info and application URL is stored. It's only created after the first installation. So when replacing, your config file will not be replaced. When you first login after replacing the files, it will check the version number in the database and the version number in the files & will redirect you to the update page.
