It's been a while since I've written about the direction to which the Anahita project is heading towards. A lot of research and silent development has been happening during the last year with a focus on maintaining the existing codebase while planning the upcoming releases.

The idea of Anahita came to me over a decade ago when I was working as the lead architect of a software project to develop a Learning Management System for K12.

How To Upgrade

IMPORTANT NOTE: make a backup of your database before upgrading so if things went wrong, you would be able to recover. 

Now run the following command in the root of your Anahita installation:

$ composer update

then run the database migration:

$ php anahita db:migrate:up

that should do it.  

If you are using the master branch, you need to pull the code and then run the database migration.
