Use the web installer on shared hosting. It checks requirements and verifies the signed release before unpacking.
Installation guide →On PHP hosting, open Admin → Updates. On Docker, update from the host using the guide below.
Read the release notes →DirectAdmin, cPanel or Plesk. Upload the PHP installer to your web folder, open it in a browser and follow the steps, including cron verification.
Install without SSH →For an existing Compose installation, set PHAROS_VERSION=@@VERSION@@ in its environment, then run:
docker compose pull
docker compose up -dFor a new PHP installation, run the installer and follow the document-root and scheduler instructions:
curl -fsSL https://pharos.solutionmax.net/get | sh -s -- --php --version @@VERSION@@Take a backup first. Pharos snapshots include SQLite; MySQL needs a separate database backup. A version-pinned installer is for a fresh installation, not a downgrade. Restore matching code and database when rolling back.
Updating from 0.5.4 may require one PHP or container restart to clear old OPcache code. Read the update and recovery guide →
