Magento Enterprise 2.4.6-p4 Update to 2.4.6-p5 – Upgrade Guide

Magento 2 can be installed in two ways :

Github installation or Composer based Installation

A Github installation is usually used by developers who are contributing to the Magento codebase and is a clone of the Magento 2 github repo.

Production installations should use the composer based installation which downloads released packages of Magento 2 from the Magento composer repo.

A composer installation has the Magento core code located in /vendor/magento the github installation has the Magento core code located in /app/code

Use the composer patch for your Magento 2 composer based installation.

Attempting to use a github patch will fail as the patched files will not be found.

Please follow these steps

Step 1. Download ver:2.4.2 composer.json by following command in other temp directory.

composer create-project --repository-url=https://repo.magento.com/ magento/project-community-edition:2.4.2 .

Step 2. Take backup current composer.json and composer.lock files

Step 3. Upload the composer.json from temp directory to your project directory

Step 4. Run composer update command

Step 5. Run setup upgrade and deploy commands

Step 6. Now install other require modules

Match your composer.json file.
