Warning
This release is unsupported.
The Open edX Platform Release Notes and the Open edX Platform Release Notes are the authoratative sources of information on all Open edX releases. It is strongly recommended to operate off the latest Open edX release at all points in time, as only the most recent release is community-supported.
See the Open edX Release Schedule for information on release dates and end-of-life support.
This section describes the Open edX Ficus release. Note that edX no longer supports the Ficus relesae.

Upgrading to a Subsequent Ficus Release#
Occasionally, we release updates to Ficus. For example, the second
release of Ficus is open-release/ficus.2.
The steps to upgrade differ based on your original installation method.
Upgrading a Vagrant Installation#
Devstack and Fullstack are installed using Vagrant. To upgrade from one Ficus release to another, run the following commands in the host operating system:
$ export OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/ficus.2
$ vagrant provision
Upgrading a Native Installation#
If you installed Open edX using the Legacy Open edX Native Installation, you can
upgrade from one Ficus release to another by re-running those steps using your
desired Ficus tag as the new value for OPENEDX_RELEASE.
