How to Upgrade
Hyvä Commerce is an 'Early Access' product currently under development.
Early Access means that not all features of Hyvä Commerce are fully completed or released, and many areas are still under heavy development and may change. However, it means you can get your hands on everything currently available and being worked on, with a license. Find out more on our Early Access page.
This document gives a general overview over the Hyvä Commerce upgrade process.
Please be sure to check the version specific upgrade notes.

In this case, the composer require command should be run instead:
