This will +determine the reinstallation method. + +## One-line installer script (`kickstart.sh`) + +Run the one-line installer script with the `--reinstall` parameter to reinstall the Netdata Agent. This will preserve +any [user configuration](/docs/configure/nodes.md) in `netdata.conf` or other files. + +If you used any [optional +parameters](/packaging/installer/methods/kickstart.md#optional-parameters-to-alter-your-installation) during initial +installation, you need to pass them to the script again during reinstallation. If you cannot remember which options you +used, read the contents of the `.environment` file and look for a `REINSTALL_OPTIONS` line. This line contains a list of +optional parameters. + +```bash +bash <(curl -Ss https://my-netdata.io/kickstart.sh) --reinstall +``` + +## `.deb` or `.rpm` packages + +If you installed Netdata with [`.deb` or `.rpm` packages](/packaging/installer/methods/packages.md), use your +distribution's package manager to reinstall Netdata.
