# Updating on Linux
|
||
|
||
This tutorial demonstrates commands for updating FreshRSS. It assumes that your main FreshRSS directory is `/usr/share/FreshRSS`; If you’ve installed it somewhere else, substitute your path as necessary.
|
||
|
||
**Note that FreshRSS contains a built-in update system.** It’s easier to use if you don’t understand the commands that follow. It’s available through the web interface of your FreshRSS installation, Administration → Update.
|
||
|
||
## Pausing automatic feed updates
|
||
|
||
If [Automatic Feed Updating](08_FeedUpdates.md) has been configured, temporarily suspend the automatic feed updates during the upgrade process.
|
||
|
||
Before performing the upgrade:
|
||
|
||
1. cron method: run `sudo crontab -e` and comment out the task
|
||
2. systemd method: run `sudo systemctl stop freshrss.timer`
|
||
|
||
After performing the upgrade:
|
||
|
||
1. cron method: run `sudo crontab -e` and uncomment the task
|
||
2. systemd method: run `sudo systemctl start freshrss.timer`
|
||
|
||
You may wish to run the cron task or systemd unit (`freshrss.service`) immediately after the upgrade to ensure the automatic feed updates are functioning correctly.
|
||
|
||
## Using git
|
||
|
||
**You must have used git to install FreshRSS to use this update method.**
|
||
|
||
If your local user doesn’t have write access to the FreshRSS folder, use a sudo shell (`sudo -s`), prefix the following commands with `sudo`, or switch to an account that does have write access to the folder.
|
||
|
||
1. Change to your FreshRSS directory
|
||
```sh
|
||
cd /usr/share/FreshRSS/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Fetch the most recent code from GitHub
|
||
```sh
|
||
git fetch --all
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
3. Discard manual changes and delete manual additions
|
||
```sh
|
||
git reset --hard
|
||
git clean -f -d
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: If you wish to keep your changes, it’s better to [create a pull request](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/compare) or [an extension](../developers/03_Backend/05_Extensions.md).
|
||
|
||
4. Update FreshRSS
|
||
```sh
|
||
git checkout edge
|
||
git pull
|
||
git checkout $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Note: If you want to use the rolling release, the last command is optional.
|
||
|
||
5. (optional) Make sure you use the correct version
|
||
```sh
|
||
git status
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The command should tell you the tag that you’re using. It must be the same as the one associated with [the latest release on GitHub](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases/latest). If you use the rolling release, it should tell you that your `edge` branch is up to date with `origin`.
|
||
|
||
6. Re-set correct permissions so that your web server can access the files
|
||
```sh
|
||
chown -R :www-data . && chmod -R g+r . && chmod -R g+w ./data/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Using the Zip archive
|
||
|
||
If your local user doesn’t have write access to the FreshRSS folder, use a sudo shell (`sudo -s`), prefix the following commands with `sudo`, or switch to an account that does have write access to the folder.
|
||
|
||
1. Change to your FreshRSS directory
|
||
```sh
|
||
cd /usr/share/FreshRSS/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Get the link to the Zip archive for [the latest release](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases/latest): [`https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/latest.zip`](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/latest.zip). If you want to use the rolling release, the link is [`https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/edge.zip`](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/edge.zip).
|
||
|
||
3. Download and unzip the update file
|
||
```sh
|
||
wget -O freshrss.zip https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/latest.zip
|
||
unzip freshrss.zip
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
4. Overwrite all your existing files with the new ones
|
||
```sh
|
||
cp -R FreshRSS-*/* .
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
5. Re-set permissions
|
||
```sh
|
||
chown -R :www-data . && chmod -R g+r . && chmod -R g+w ./data/
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
6. Clean up the FreshRSS directory by deleting the downloaded zip, the file forcing the setup wizard and the temporary directory
|
||
```sh
|
||
rm -f freshrss.zip
|
||
rm -rf FreshRSS-*/
|
||
```
