Hello.

I have RocketChat 2.4.6 and I need to scale it to a 4.x version to make use of new features.

But I can’t use the instance that is in use by the company.

So… how can I install version 2.4.6? I couldn’t find any documentation that could help me and I don’t know if it’s possible to follow the current version’s documentation for installing the old version; the attempts I’ve made follow the requirements on the version release page on GitHub ([Release 2.4.6 · RocketChat/Rocket.Chat · GitHub](https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/releases/2.4.6)).

Can anyone help me?  
Thanks 🙂

Hi! Welcome to our forums 🙂

We have all older versions in our docker (our suggested deployment method) repo:

[https://hub.docker.com/r/rocketchat/rocket.chat/tags?page=1&name=2.4.6](https://hub.docker.com/r/rocketchat/rocket.chat/tags?page=1&name=2.4.6)

You can also use our own docker repo, for instance:  
registry.rocket.chat/rocketchat/rocket.chat:2.4.6

Now you can dump your production data, restore in a 2.4.6 staging deployment and start your tests into upgrading to 4.6.3, our latest released version now.

Also, consider joining our [community support channel](https://open.rocket.chat/channel/support) to help others and also get help 😉

Friend, your answer helped me a lot.

I’m gradually making the updates in the test phase and so far everything has been working very well.

Thank you very much!
