Unfortunately despite the console saying I should update the docs says dont

It should be enough to run composer install as this will install PHP dependencies saved in the composer.lock file. You can do this as many times as you like, it will only install new packages when the composer.lock file is changed. Don't run composer update as this will update all packages to newer versions and update the composer.lock file.
