2.7.3. Upgrading to a Subsequent Ficus Release

Occasionally, we release updates to Ficus. For example, the second release of Ficus is open-release/ficus.2. The steps to upgrade differ based on your original installation method.

2.7.3.1. Upgrading a Vagrant Installation

Devstack and Fullstack are installed using Vagrant. To upgrade from one Ficus release to another, run the following commands in the host operating system:

$ export OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/ficus.2
$ vagrant provision

2.7.3.2. Upgrading a Native Installation

If you installed Open edX using the Legacy Open edX Native Installation, you can upgrade from one Ficus release to another by re-running those steps using your desired Ficus tag as the new value for OPENEDX_RELEASE.
