I need to upgrade my local discourse to the latest version so I can restore a backup made from a live Discourse instance, import users from Ning, and then backup and restore to the live instance. However, as Sidekiq isn’t running isn’t checking for updates. I tried to go to /admin/upgrade manually but I get a “route doesn’t exist” screen. Is there any other way to force an upgrade without having Sidekiq running? I dont’ want to run Sidekiq as I don\t want my dev instance sending out real emails.

Thanks in advance!
