It's not specific to forma 3.01, but the installation or upgrade instructions are always the same and always in the same place

You can also always look at the readme.txt file in the downloaded zip file.

To upgrade from Forma 2.4 to 3.01, you can follow these general steps:

• Review the Release Notes: Start by reviewing the release notes and changelog for Forma 3.01. This will give you an overview of the changes, new features, and any potential breaking changes that may affect your upgrade process. The release notes can typically be found on the Forma website or in the project's GitHub repository.

• Back up your data: Before proceeding with any upgrade, it's always a good practice to back up your existing Forma 2.4 installation, including your database, configuration files, and any customizations you have made. This will ensure that you have a fallback option in case any issues arise during the upgrade process.

• Check system requirements: Verify that your server environment meets the system requirements for Forma 3.01. Check for any specific software versions, PHP extensions, or other dependencies that may be required by the new version. Update your server environment if necessary.

• Review the upgrade guide: Look for an official upgrade guide or documentation provided by the Forma project for upgrading from version 2.4 to 3.01. The upgrade guide should provide specific instructions and steps to follow during the upgrade process. It may cover aspects such as file structure changes, database schema updates, configuration changes, and any other relevant information.

• Follow the upgrade steps: Follow the upgrade steps outlined in the upgrade guide. These steps may involve downloading the Forma 3.01 release, replacing or updating files in your existing installation, running any necessary database migration scripts, and configuring any new features or settings introduced in the new version.

• Test and verify: Once the upgrade process is complete, thoroughly test your Forma installation to ensure that everything is functioning as expected. Test various functionalities, workflows, and features to identify any potential issues or regressions introduced during the upgrade.

• Apply customizations and themes: If you have made any customizations or modifications to your Forma 2.4 installation, review them and adapt them to work with Forma 3.01 if necessary. Also, if you were using custom themes, check if they are compatible with the new version or if they need adjustments to work correctly.
