How do I update to v5 beta

[beats23]

Hi, I want to update to v5 beta on a backup of my website. I add \define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', true ); to the constant.php file, but the beta is not showing in the ACP.

How do I update my website copy?

Most likely v5 is not included in the v4 beta check.

Download the ZIP file from your client area and do a manual upgrade.

No luck with manual update. I get this error.

Looks like you haven't uploaded all the files

I'll wait until the beta can be installed for the ACP.

Any idea when will the v5 beta can install from the ACP with automatic upgrade?

It may be a manual upload yet. As Daniel mentioned, it does look like you didnt have all files there

Pasting the upgrade files to my local MAMP folder gives issues on Apple Mac. When I paste the files I get an option to merge folders which I chose, then I chose overwrite files, but some files get deleted in the process.

I think she is asking when we will be able to upgrade V5 as a final product. When will this Invision Community forum and we all move to V5.

No, I meant when will we be able to use \define( 'USE_DEVELOPMENT_BUILDS', true ); in the constant.php file, so v5 beta version can be automatically installed from the ACP.

It s Ok, but my question - When will this Invision Community forum and we all move to V5 as a final product. Someone from the team told me in PM that the product will be ready in April, and now it is the middle of October.

We're in beta. Of course it depends on that testing.

In terms of the time scale, we did actually announce it was taking longer due to switching out the editor unfortunately. However its still much much faster than most

It may never be possible to do an ACP upgrade for v5. Unpacking v5 files onto v4 will just cause more errors that ChatGPT trying to do basic math.

We may write something totally new to do it once v4 has reached EOL and is no longer an option.

If you're using Mac, then ditch MAMP and get Herd (don't worry, it's not Laravel only). I had nothing but trouble with MAMP, but I now use Herd locally with Dngin and my life has been so much better.
