Update?

[tmccaff57g5da8]

What’s the command to update Magento? I have 2.4.8 but wasn’t there a security update? I did the following code:

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.9-alpha2 no-update

i received an error doing it

You should avoid using the alpha build — it’s unstable. To update Magento properly, run:

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.4.9 --no-update
composer update
bin/magento setup:upgrade
bin/magento cache:flush

Make sure your PHP and Elasticsearch versions meet 2.4.9 requirements before updating. Always back up your files and database first.

Run the command below and then execute composer update --ignore-platform-reqs

composer require-commerce magento/product-community-edition 2.4.8-p3 --no-update

To update Magento to the latest version, including security updates like 2.4.9 or later, it's important to use the correct Composer command. The error you encountered is likely due to using an incorrect package version like  which is a pre-release and not recommended for production environments. Instead, you should run followed by to perform the actual update. Always back up your store and test updates in a staging environment first. Staying on top of Magento security patches is crucial, especially for businesses in sensitive sectors like  real estate investment and development company  where data integrity and secure user transactions are essential for maintaining trust and compliance.
