Upgrade from git Magento 2.1.9

[oliviawd]

Hello,

I've got a Magento 2 installation which has been done via git. I'm not a developer and would like to upgrade simply via composer update.

Is it somehow possible to move or migrate from one installation/method to the other?

It seems a "git Magento" can't be updated in a "composer way". I receive this message: - The requested package magento/product-community-edition could not be found in any version, there may be a typo in the package name.

Thanks in advance

Hi @oliviawd

I understand the problem you are facing !

As known as i know - It doesn't matter how you have installed magento using Git or using composer !

But in your magento 2  setup you required to check - composer is installed or not ?

You can check by running this command -  composer -v

using above command you will able to see composer version - if its installed or not !

Also i have seen in your command you haven't passed any magento version - so there might be a chance due to that you are not able to upgrade your magento .

Kindly follow the below command : 

composer require magento/product-community-edition 2.1.15 --no-update

Then you required to run below command in sequence : 

rm -rf var/di/* var/generation/* var/cache/* var/log/* var/page_cache/* var/session/* var/view_preprocessed/* pub/static/*
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
php bin/magento cache:clean
php bin/magento cache:flush
php bin/magento indexer:reindex

Hope it helps !
