+It is not possible to upgrade any version below 6.2 LTS to 7.0 directly,
+since some upgrade wizards are not available anymore on 7.0.
-It is highly recommended to upgrade to 4.5 LTS first and continue with
-a second upgrade to 6.2 LTS.

### If SSH and symlinks are possible
this is the recommended way of setting up TYPO3 so that it can easily
be upgraded later through the Install Tool:
-* Uncompress the `typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz` file one level above the Document
+* Uncompress the `typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz` file one level above the Document
Root of your Web server:
```
/var/www/site/htdocs/ $ cd ..
-/var/www/site/ $ tar xzf typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz
+/var/www/site/ $ tar xzf typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz
```
* Create the symlinks in your Document Root:
```
cd htdocs
- ln -s ../typo3_src-6.2.x typo3_src
+ ln -s ../typo3_src-7.0.x typo3_src
ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php
ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
```
You end up with the follow structure of files:
```
- typo3_src-6.2.x/
- htdocs/typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-6.2.x/
+ typo3_src-7.0.x/
+ htdocs/typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-7.0.x/
htdocs/typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3/
htdocs/index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
htdocs/.htaccess
On Windows Vista and Windows 7, you can create symbolic links using
the `mklink` tool:
```
- mklink /D C:\<dir>\example.com\typo3_src C:\<dir>\typo3_src-6.2.x
+ mklink /D C:\<dir>\example.com\typo3_src C:\<dir>\typo3_src-7.0.x
```
Users of Windows XP/2000 or newer can use the `junction` program by
Please note that this is not a recommended setup!
-* Uncompress `typo3_src-6.2.x.tar.gz` locally
+* Uncompress `typo3_src-7.0.x.tar.gz` locally
* Upload all files and subdirectories directly in your Document Root
(where files that are served by your webserver are located).
* In case your provider uses Apache:
