Composer

composer update statamic/cms --with-dependenciesNote: You may prefer to run composer update to update all of your dependencies.
Statamic CLI
If you installed with Statamic CLI, you can update your installation with the following command:
statamic updateControl Panel
The Control Panel will inform you when updates are available.
From within the Tools → Updates section, Statamic will provide you with the appropriate Composer commands to run.
If you choose to install a non-latest version, your statamic/cms Composer version dependency will be fixed to whichever explicit version you choose. To go back to a constraint-style version, you'll need to update your composer.json file.
For example, if you chose v4.0.1 in the control panel, this will be your Composer constraint.
{ "require": { "statamic/cms": "4.0.1", }}To go back to a more traditional version range constraint, you may want to replace it with this:
{ "require": { "statamic/cms": "^4.0", }}Major Upgrades
