 | 
						|
:::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Getting started
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Install Strapi `alpha.9` globally on your computer. To do so run `npm install strapi@3.0.0-alpha.9 -g`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When it's done, generate a new empty project `strapi new myNewProject` (don't pay attention to the database configuration).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configurations
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You will have to update just 2 files: `package.json` and `request.json`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Edit the Strapi's dependencies version: (move Strapi's dependencies to `3.0.0-alpha.9` version) in `package.json` file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "dependencies": {
 | 
						|
    "lodash": "4.x.x",
 | 
						|
    "strapi": "3.0.0-alpha.9",
 | 
						|
    "strapi-mongoose": "3.0.0-alpha.9"
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Edit the `session.enabled` settings to `true` in each environment file: `/configs/environments/***/request.json`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```json
 | 
						|
{
 | 
						|
  "session": {
 | 
						|
    "enabled": true
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Update the Admin
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Delete your old admin folder and replace it by the new one.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Update the Plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Copy this file `/plugins/users-permissions/config/jwt.json` **from your old project** and paste it in the corresponding one in your new project.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
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 by the new one.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## ⚠️ Roles update
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Roles are now stored in your database. You will have to re-create and configure them via the admin dashboard.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<br>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## ⚠️ User collection/table name has changed
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you have an existing set of users in your database you will have to rename the collection/table from `user` to `users-permissions_user`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then update all your users by changing the old role id by the new one which is in `users-permissions_role` collection/table.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
That's all, you have now upgraded to Strapi `alpha.9`.
