UPDATE:-

I will explain more in how to update latest magento version (2.4 at the moment):

composer require magento/product-enterprise-edition=2.4.0 --no-update
composer update

Replace 2.4 with the latest M2 version.

When it is completed, run another SSH command and upgrade the Magento database:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade

After that you will want to recompile if you are in production mode:

php bin/magento deploy:mode:set production
