How do I upgrade to the latest version of directus on my Digital Ocean droplet?
I have tried running the commands through terminal that are outlined in both of these articles but I must be missing something because it is not updating me to latest version of directus.
https://learndirectus.com/how-to-upgrade-directus/
When I run “npm update” I get the following message back:
“up to date, audited 1 package in 124ms”
But when I am logged into my directus package it is still showing that I am on directus version 9.9.0 and not the latest version

Heya,
Looking at their documentation the update is done via npm indeed so this is strange, but you can look at the following solution:
- Backup your project
- Run:
npm update - Run:
npx directus database migrate:latestto update the DB - Restart the Directus service to apply the changes.
Note that the update process might vary depending on your setup and installation method. If you still have trouble with the update, please let me know more about your setup or consider reaching out to the Directus community.
For more information about upgrading Directus, please refer to the official Directus documentation: https://docs.directus.io/self-hosted/upgrades-migrations.html
Hope that this helps!
