Hi,
In theory, should be able to do in one swoop. What OS are you using and if using ubuntu what directory is OpenEMR installed in (if you happen to have it installed on ubuntu and OpenEMR is in a certain directory, then the upgrade will be very easy). Very important to backup your system also (and considering working on a testing system first) before embarking on the upgrade also.
If not using ubuntu, then best to follow the instructions going from “3.2.0 to 4.0.0”, but use 4.1.2 instead of 4.0.0:

(The reason why going from 3.2.0 to 4.0.0 is an important step is because some directories get moved around per the instructions)
