# Update Strapi version
How to upgrade your application to the latest version of Strapi.
# Upgrading your dependencies
Start by upgrading all your strapi package version.
For example moving from 3.0.0-beta.16
to 3.0.0-beta.17
Then run either yarn install
or npm install
to install the specified version.
TIP
If the operation doesn't work, you should probably remove your yarn.lock
or package-lock.json
. If it still does not work, let's run the hard mode rm -Rf node_modules
# Building your administration panel
New releases can introduce changes to the administration panel that require a rebuild.
Start by deleting your current build:
rm -rf build
Build the administration panel:
yarn build
# or
npm run build
TIP
If the operation doesn't work, you should probably remove the .cache
folder too.
# Migration guides
Sometimes Strapi introduces changes that need more than just the previous updates.
That is the reason for the Migration Guide page.
Just make sure when you update your version that a migration guide exists or not.
