Upgrade TYPO3 to a specific version

Question

I am new to TYPO3 and tried to install the official introduction package. I found the package in the extension manager and clicked install but got the following message:

Could not install distribution 'bootstrap_package'
Your TYPO3 version is lower than this extension requires. It requires TYPO3 versions 6.2.14 - 7.99.99

I am using TYPO3 version 6.2.11. I installed the system via docker TYPO3-docker-boilerplate. I think this tool uses composer to get the TYPO3 base distribution. I tried the upgrade wizard but there was no option to choose a specific version to upgrade to. So how can I upgrade TYPO3 to version 6.2.14?

I need to use version 6.2.

Unfortunately, the cms-base-distribution Composer package hasn't been updated since March. So you have to set the typo3/cms package in the composer.json file to the version you need (latest stable version of 6.2 is 6.2.15). The file is located in the code directory.

Then run composer update in the same directory.

This should update one dependency and the cms package itself:

- Removing helhum/class-alias-loader (1.0.99)
- Installing helhum/class-alias-loader (1.1.5)
  Downloading: 100%

- Removing typo3/cms (6.2.11)
- Installing typo3/cms (6.2.15)
  Downloading: 100%
