See the ThreatQ V5 Platform Air Gapped Installation Guide for detailed information on new installs of ThreatQ V5 on an air gapped device. 

If you are upgrading from the most recent ThreatQ 4x release to 5x, you must contact ThreatQ support for assistance with the upgrade process.

ThreatQ requires you to be on the latest version of 4x in order to upgrade to ThreatQ version 5x.  

If you are upgrading from the most recent ThreatQ 4x release to 5x, or are upgrading from one 5x release to another, you can use the following steps.

Contact ThreatQ Support if you encounter any issues during the upgrade or require assistance.
