# Upgrading

If you are upgrading from an existing installation, please consult the [upgrading guide](upgrading.md).

NetBox v2.5 and later requires Python 3.5 or higher. Please see the instructions for [migrating to Python 3](migrating-to-python3.md) if you are still using Python 2.

Netbox v2.5.9 and later moved to using systemd instead of supervisord.  Please see the instructions for [migrating to systemd](migrating-to-systemd.md) if you are still using supervisord.
