Upgrading to a New Version

We strongly recommend using composer to install the Algolia extension for Magento. Instructions on the installation process can be found in our quick start guide. Unfortunately, updating the extension using other installation methods is not supported at this time.

Using Composer

Run composer’s update command to update the extension to the newest version.

$
composer update algolia/algoliasearch-magento-2

After updating the extension, the configuration should be saved again even if the settings weren’t changed. Navigate to Stores > Configuration > Algolia Search and hit save.

With the configuration saved, you should reindex your Magento indices according to these indexing instructions.

Make sure you read the changelog for any additional steps that need to be taken.

Extension Manager

As an alternative, you can upgrade your extension using Magento’s extension manager in your store’s back office. You can find the manager by going to:

Stores > Tools > Web Setup Wizard > Extension Manager

Please read this Magento devdoc for more information on how to update your extension.
