## UPGRADING
Dolibarr supports upgrading usually wihtout the need for any (commercial) support (depending on if you use any commercial extensions) and supports upgrading all the way from 2.8-12.0 without breakage. This is unique in the ERP ecosystem and a benefit our users highly appreciate!
- At first make a backup of your Dolibarr files & than see https://wiki.dolibarr.org/index.php/Installation_-_Upgrade#Upgrade_Dolibarr
- Check that your installed PHP version is supported by the new version [see PHP support](./doc/phpmatrix.md).
- Overwrite all old files from 'dolibarr' directory with files provided into the new version's package.
- At first next access, Dolibarr will redirect your to the "install/" page to follow the upgrade process.
 If an `install.lock` file exists to lock any other upgrade process, the application will ask you to remove the file manually (you should find the `install.lock` file into the directory used to store generated and uploaded documents, in most cases, it is the directory called "*documents*").
*Note: migration process can be safely done multiple times by calling the `/install/index.php` page*
