Running the automated upgrade script

<Aside variant="info"> Some plugins you're using may not be available in v5 just yet. You could temporarily remove them from your `composer.json` file until they've been upgraded, replace them with a similar plugins that are v5-compatible, wait for the plugins to be upgraded before upgrading your app, or even write PRs to help the authors upgrade them. </Aside>

The first step to upgrade your Filament app is to run the automated upgrade script. This script will automatically upgrade your application to the latest version of Filament and make changes to your code, which handles breaking changes:

bash

composer require filament/upgrade:"^5.0" -W --dev

vendor/bin/filament-v5

# Run the commands output by the upgrade script, they are unique to your app
composer require filament/filament:"^5.0" -W --no-update
composer update

<Aside variant="warning"> When using Windows PowerShell to install Filament, you may need to run the command below, since it ignores `^` characters in version constraints:

```bash
composer require filament/upgrade:"~5.0" -W --dev

vendor/bin/filament-v5

# Run the commands output by the upgrade script, they are unique to your app
composer require filament/filament:"~5.0" -W --no-update
composer update
```

</Aside>

Make sure to carefully follow the instructions, and review the changes made by the script. You may need to make some manual changes to your code afterwards, but the script should handle most of the repetitive work for you.

You can now composer remove filament/upgrade --dev as you don't need it anymore.

Upgrading Livewire

Filament v5 requires Livewire v4.0+. You can upgrade your Livewire code by following the Livewire upgrade guide.
