Upgrading

There are several parts to Gantry: The library, component, plugin, and template -- and each have a similar upgrading process.

There are two methods of upgrading the Gantry Library. You can either do so via the Joomla Updater, or through an overriding reinstall. The first is the simplest and recommended method. Go to Extensions → Extensions Manager → Update, select Find Updates to load all available updates, if they are not already shown. Then, select Gantry and click Update.. Gantry will now be updated directly from the Web.

The alternative method is actually identical to installing Gantry in the first place, and necessary for upgrading the Gantry template. You would just need to download the latest Gantry files, and install at Extensions → Extensions Manager → Install. Select the Choose File button and locate the downloaded ZIP and click Upload & Install to begin the update. There is no need to uninstall first as the files will be updated during the installation process.

You can check to see if the correct Gantry version has been installed by going to Extensions → Extensions Manager → Manage, and searching for Gantry. The version number will appear in the table.
