Single machine deployment

This topic provides instructions for deploying updates to Magento on a production server using the command line.

This process applies to technical users responsible for stores running on a single machine with some themes and locales installed.

For less technical users, i.e. business users, we recommend using the System Upgrade feature in the Admin.

Assumptions

You installed Magento using Composer or a compressed archive.
You are directly applying updates to the server.

This guide does not apply if you used git clone to install Magento. Contributing developers should use this guide to update their Magento installation.

Deployment steps

Change directory to the Magento base directory:

cd <Magento base directory>

Enable maintenance mode using the command:

bin/magento maintenance:enable

Apply updates to Magento or its components using the following command pattern:
```
1
composer require <package> <version> --no-update
```
package: The name of the package you want to update.

For example:
- magento/product-community-edition
- magento/product-enterprise-edition
version: The target version of the package you want to update.
Update Magento’s components with Composer:
```
1
composer update
```

Update the database schema and data:

bin/magento setup:upgrade

Compile the code:

bin/magento setup:di:compile

Deploy static content:

bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy

Clean the cache:

bin/magento cache:clean

Exit maintenance mode:

bin/magento maintenance:disable

Alternative deployment strategies

In Magento 2.2, a near-zero downtime deployment model will be available for a variety of complex environments, including Magento Commerce Cloud.
