-# Updating netdata after its installation
-

-
-We suggest to keep your netdata updated. We are actively developing it and you should always update to the latest version.
-
-The update procedure depends on how you installed it:
-
-## You downloaded it from github using git
-
-### Manual update
-
-The installer `netdata-installer.sh` generates a `netdata-updater.sh` script in the directory you downloaded netdata.
-You can use this script to update your netdata installation with the same options you used to install it in the first place.
-Just run it and it will download and install the latest version of netdata. The same script can be put in a cronjob to update your netdata at regular intervals.
-
-```sh
-# go to the git downloaded directory
-cd /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata
-
-# run the updater
-./netdata-updater.sh
-```
-
-_Netdata will be restarted with the new version._
-
-If you don't have this script (e.g. you deleted the directory where you downloaded netdata), just follow the **[[Installation]]** instructions again. The installer preserves your configuration. You can also update netdata to the latest version by hand, using this:
-
-```sh
-# go to the git downloaded directory
-cd /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata
-
-# download the latest version
-git pull
-
-# rebuild it, install it, run it
-./netdata-installer.sh
-```
-
-_Netdata will be restarted with the new version._
-
-Keep in mind, netdata may now have new features, or certain old features may now behave differently. So pay some attention to it after updating.
-
-### Auto-update
-
-_Please, consider the risks of running an auto-update. Something can always go wrong. Keep an eye on your installation, and run a manual update if something ever fails._
-
-You can call `netdata-updater.sh` from a cron-job. A successful update will not trigger an email from cron.
-
-```sh
-# Edit your cron-jobs
-crontab -e
-
-# add a cron-job at the bottom. This one will update netdata every day at 6:00AM:
-# update netdata
-0 6 * * * /path/to/git/downloaded/netdata/netdata-updater.sh
-```
-
-## You downloaded a binary package
-
-If you installed it from a binary package, the best way is to **obtain a newer copy** from the source you got it in the first place.
-
-If a newer version of netdata is not available from the source you got it, we suggest to uninstall the version you have and follow the **[[Installation]]** instructions for installing a fresh version of netdata.
