Everything I find seems to be for new installs. Where are the instructions for upgrading from an earlier version of vBv5 to v5.4.2?

In the vb5readme.html there is a section on upgrading.
There is a sticky topic in the vBulletin 5 Installs and Upgrades forum: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/foru...lletin-connect
And a chapter in our online Documentation here: https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/upgrade
In reality the major difference between an install and upgrading your site is that you run /core/install/upgrade.php instead of /core/install/install.php. The steps are pretty much the same otherwise.- Turn off your forums.
- Create a database backup.
- Upload the new files to your server.
- Run /core/install/upgrade.php in your browser.
- Delete the /core/install folder
- Turn on your forums.
