Sitefinity CLI Upgrade - 12 to 13

Looks like the upgrade process is now handled by the CLI. Can someone explain the step by step process in a simpler language? Here's the CLI project on Github: https://github.com/Sitefinity/Sitefinity-CLI

Am I supposed to download this and place it in my project folder and then run the command in VS console or in Windows command prompt?

I found this in SF documentations: https://www.progress.com/documentation/sitefinity-cms/upgrade-using-sitefinity-cli

I wish these were written with clearer explanation :(

Solution

  • Easiest is to download the latest Cli version from here: https://github.com/Sitefinity/Sitefinity-CLI/releases

    Extract the archive to a folder of your choice and add this folder to the PATH system variable.

    Then open command prompt where the CLI was extracted and run the following command:

    sf upgrade "D:\TestProject\SitefinityWebApp.sln" "13.3.7600"

    Just change the path to point to your solution file.
