How to Upgrade from laravel 5.2 to 5.4?

Viewed 8013

I want to update Laravel to the latest version 5.4.
But direct migration is not given in laravel migration guide, so first I am trying to migrate it to laravel 5.3.
My project is working on a 5.2 laravel version and trying to upgrade it.

I have updated composer.json as guided into the documentation of laravel migration guide.
And run command composer update on the command line.

I am getting the following error.

Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

What extra changes do I need to make in composer.json to make the update work?

In the end I end up using advantage of link as these people integrated everything possible. Just minor changes from our side, that too they will mention in the log when they upgrade latest version of laravel. Its paid thing, but one time investment to save time worth it.
