How to install

To install JHipster v8.6.0:

npm install -g generator-jhipster

It is also available using the JHipster Docker image, as it is automatically built from our source code.

How to upgrade

Automatic upgrade

For an automatic upgrade, use the JHipster upgrade sub-generator on an existing application:

Upgrade your version of JHipster:

npm update -g generator-jhipster

And then run the upgrade sub-generator:

jhipster upgrade

You can also use the migrate blueprint for more advanced upgrade features.

npm i -g generator-jhipster-migrate
jhipster-migrate

Manual upgrades

For a manual upgrade, first upgrade your version of JHipster with:

npm update -g generator-jhipster

If you have an existing project, it will still use the JHipster version with which it was generated. To upgrade your project, you must first delete its node_modules folder and then run:

jhipster

Since JHipster 8.0, this command will update your project and all its entities.

You can also update your entities one-by-one by running again the entity sub-generator, for example if your entity is named Foo, use:

jhipster entity Foo
