# 4.6 to 4.7

> This guide covers upgrading a 4.6 Spree application to Spree 4.7.

<Warning>
  We recommend [upgrading straight to 4.8](4.x-to-4.8), as we improved how we handle translations in 4.8.
  This also means easier database migration, especially if you have a big product catalog.
</Warning>

<Note>
  If you're on an older version than 4.6 please follow previous upgrade guides and perform those upgrades incrementally

  1. [upgrade 4.3 to 4.4](4.3-to-4.4)
  2. [upgrade 4.4 to 4.5](4.4-to-4.5)
  3. [upgrade 4.5 to 4.6](4.5-to-4.6)
</Note>

## Upgrade steps

### 1. Update gems

```bash theme={"theme":"night-owl"}
bundle update
```

### 2. Install and run missing migrations

```bash theme={"theme":"night-owl"}
bin/rake spree:install:migrations && bin/rails db:migrate
```

### 3. (Optional) Re-Run Spree Frontend install

If you're using [Spree Frontend gem](https://github.com/spree/spree_rails_frontend), run the following additional commands to get everything set up correctly with the updated gems:

```bash theme={"theme":"night-owl"}
bin/rails g spree:frontend:install
```
