Feel free to [join us on Slack](http://slack.strapi.io) and ask questions about the migration process.
:::
<br>
## Getting started
Install Strapi `alpha.12.4` globally on your computer. To do so run `npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.12.4 -g`.
When it's done, generate a new empty project `strapi new myNewProject` (don't pay attention to the database configuration).
<br>
## Update node modules
Update the Strapi's dependencies version (move Strapi's dependencies to `3.0.0-alpha.12.4` version) of your project.
Run `npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.12.4 --save` to update your strapi version and then run the same command for `strapi-mongoose` or `strapi-bookshelf` depending on the module you use in your application.
If you did a custom update on one of the plugins, you will have to manually migrate your update.
:::
Copy the fields and relations you had in your `/plugins/users-permissions/models/User.settings.json` and `/plugins/users-permissions/config/jwt.json` file in the new one.
Then, delete your old `plugins` folder and replace it with the new one.
<br>
That's all, you have now upgraded to Strapi `alpha.12.4`.
