Version 5 is a major release. Check the system requirements before upgrading. If you are using any 3rd party extensions, check that they are compatible with v5 before upgrading. The upgrade process may take several minutes or more, please be patient. If you have SSH access, upgrade via CLI if possible. If upgrading via your browser, you may wish to extend your web server timeout to give the upgrade enough time to complete. BACKUP YOUR FILES + DATABASE PRIOR TO UPGRADING.
See the documentation for details on how to install or upgrade.
