Modified on Wed, 23 Oct at 5:37 PM

Currently, Composer is the main method for upgrading Adobe Commerce (Magento 2) modules and extensions. In case your M2E Pro module was initially installed manually in app/code directory you can switch the upgrade method to Composer following the next steps:

Step 1. Remove old version extension files installed in app/code directory. Go to *magento_root*/app/code directory and remove files:

rm -rf Ess/M2ePro/

Step 2. Provide Composer Installer as a dependence on the composer.json file of your project:

composer require m2epro/magento2-extension

Step 3. To complete the upgrade, run the following commands:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

After performing the steps above, for all further upgrades follow the default upgrade instructions.
