# Upgrade instructions

{% hint style="info" %}
We update all the time, often multiple times per day.
{% endhint %}

Make sure you're following our canny:

{% hint style="warning" %}
It's not necessarily a great idea to force updates on everyone (think about Windows 10 here), but you should periodically do manual updates to the latest version, or you'll be missing lots of stuff.
{% endhint %}

I just updated a customer today who was so out of date they didn't even have themes 🤯 😱&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
**Upgrading to the latest version of the ESP platform has now been automated**

Just log into your server and use the new ./upgrade.sh tool
{% endhint %}

Here's how to get started:&#x20;

`cd edcom-install`

To see the command line options for the upgrade tool, run this command:

.`/upgrade.sh -h`

```
Usage: ./upgrade.sh [--check-only] | [--no-prompt]
   
--check-only: Check for latest version and exit 

--no-prompt: Do not prompt for confirmation before upgrading
```

You can see if your version is out of date by just running a version check:

`./upgrade.sh --check-only`

```
Your platform version is NOT the latest version

Your platform version: 1.20231023.0211 Latest version: 1.20231024.0316
```

To upgrade, run the tool by itself without any extra options:

`./upgrade.sh`

```
Your platform version is NOT the latest version

Your platform version: 1.20231023.0211 Latest version: 1.20231024.0316

Do you want to proceed with upgrading your platform? [y/n]: y
```

If there's a newer version out, you'll be prompted to upgrade now, or you can wait until a better time.&#x20;

If you choose to be upgraded, you'll see output similar to the following:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

{% endcode %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The new version will be downloaded and installed while preserving your data and settings, and then your platform will be automatically restarted.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
When you see this, it means you're done and ready to log back in on your web browser:&#x20;
{% endhint %}
