@ -18,6 +18,21 @@ NetBox v3.0 and later require the following:
As with the initial installation, you can upgrade NetBox by either downloading the latest release package or by cloning the `master` branch of the git repository.
!!! warning
Use the same method as you used to install Netbox originally
If you are not sure how Netbox was installed originally, check with this
command:
```
ls -ld /opt/netbox /opt/netbox/.git
```
If Netbox was installed from a release package, then `/opt/netbox` will be a
symlink pointing to the current version, and `/opt/netbox/.git` will not
exist. If it was installed from git, then `/opt/netbox` and
`/opt/netbox/.git` will both exist as normal directories.
### Option A: Download a Release
Download the [latest stable release](https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox/releases) from GitHub as a tarball or ZIP archive. Extract it to your desired path. In this example, we'll use `/opt/netbox`.
