Cypress 7.x Upgrade Instructions - projectcypress/cypress GitHub Wiki

Install Clean Version of Cypress v7.4.0.1

Follow the Cypress V7 Install Instructions if you do not already have a running version of Cypress v7.x.x.

Note: VMs for Cypress v7.0.6 and older were built on Ubuntu 18.04 which has since entered End of Life. It is strongly encouraged to install a fresh installation for Cypress v7.1.0 instead of following the upgrade path. Starting with Cypress v7.3.2, the upgrade script will only work for VMs built on Ubuntu 22.04.

Upgrade Existing Version of Cypress V7.x.x to V7.4.0.1

Connect to your machine running cypress and run the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/projectcypress/cypress/master/contrib/upgrade_cypress_70.sh | sudo bash -s -- -m

Note: If the upgrade appears to stall, the script may be issuing a prompt to enter your password.

Note: You may also need to run the following command if apt-get cannot find the latest version of cypress

sudo apt update
