Install with Composer --------------------- [](#install-with-composer) If you're using Varbase 8.6.2 or older, install varbase-updater through Composer. ``` composer require vardot/varbase-updater ``` If you're using Varbase 8.6.3 or newer, skip this step; varbase-updater comes pre-installed with your Varbase project. Run the Updater --------------- [](#run-the-updater) Updating Varbase is best done through Composer. We will assume that you have [installed Varbase the recommended way](https://docs.varbase.vardot.com/getting-started/installing-varbase) through the Composer-based project template [varbase-project](https://github.com/Vardot/varbase-project). This will create the Varbase project directory that will look like this: `/path/to/YOUR_PROJECT` with the Drupal 8 codebase installed via Varbase installation profile in `/path/to/YOUR_PROJECT/docroot`. Follow the these commands to run the updater after you have installed it: 1. From a command prompt window, navigate to your project: `cd /path/to/YOUR_PROJECT` 2. Run the Varbase update tool. `./bin/update-varbase.sh` 3. Follow the wizard.
