# Updates and Upgrades
## Updating kOps
### MacOS
From Homebrew:
```bash
brew update && brew upgrade kops
```
From Github:
```bash
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/kops
wget -O kops https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kops/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/kops-darwin-amd64
chmod +x ./kops
sudo mv ./kops /usr/local/bin/
```
You can also rerun [these steps](../development/building.md) if previously built from source.
### Linux
From Github:
```bash
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/kops
wget -O kops https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases/download/$(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/kops/releases/latest | grep tag_name | cut -d '"' -f 4)/kops-linux-amd64
chmod +x ./kops
sudo mv ./kops /usr/local/bin/
```
You can also rerun [these steps](../development/building.md) if previously built from source.
## Upgrading Kubernetes
Upgrading Kubernetes is easy with kops. The cluster spec contains a `kubernetesVersion`, so you can simply edit it with `kops edit`, and apply the updated configuration to your cluster.
The `kops upgrade` command also automates checking for and applying updates.
It is recommended to run the latest version of kOps to ensure compatibility with the target kubernetesVersion. When applying a Kubernetes minor version upgrade (e.g. `v1.5.3` to `v1.6.0`), you should confirm that the target kubernetesVersion is compatible with the [current kOps release](https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/releases).
Note: if you want to upgrade from a `kube-up` installation, please see the instructions for [how to upgrade kubernetes installed with kube-up](cluster_upgrades_and_migrations.md).
### Manual update
* `kops edit cluster $NAME`
* set the kubernetesVersion to the target version (e.g. `v1.3.5`) Note the verb used below is `update`, not `upgrade`.
* `kops update cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops update cluster $NAME --yes`
* `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME --yes`
### Automated update
* `kops upgrade cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops upgrade cluster $NAME --yes`
In future the upgrade step will likely perform the update immediately (and possibly even without a
node restart), but currently you must:
* `kops update cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops update cluster $NAME --yes`
* `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME --yes`
Upgrade uses the latest Kubernetes version considered stable by kOps, defined in `https://github.com/kubernetes/kops/blob/master/channels/stable`.
### Terraform Users
* `kops edit cluster $NAME`
* set the kubernetesVersion to the target version (e.g. `v1.3.5`)
* NOTE: The next 3 steps must all be run in the same directory. Here, `--out=.` specifies that the Terraform files will be written to the current directory. It should point to wherever your Terraform files from `kops create cluster` exist. The default is `out/terraform`.
* `kops update cluster $NAME --target=terraform --out=.`
* `terraform plan`
* `terraform apply`
* `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME` to preview, then `kops rolling-update cluster $NAME --yes`
### Other Notes:
* In general, we recommend that you upgrade your cluster one minor release at a time (1.17 --> 1.18 --> 1.19). Although jumping minor versions may work if you have not enabled alpha features, you run a greater risk of running into problems due to version deprecation.
