How to update hexo

Posted on In Views: Word count in article: 659 Reading time ≈ 1 mins.

I have never update my hexo since installed. Now it is time to update hexo and its packages. I heard that the performance is better in the latest hexo. I have occurred out of memory when deploying blog using old version of hexo. I hope this could be solved by updating hexo.

Log into your server as user who owns the hexo blog repo and switch to this directory.

npm install -g npm
npm install hexo@7.3.0 --save # change the version number as the latest one, which could be found in output before.
hexo -v # check if updation successed.
