# Updating Soapbox
You should always check the [release notes/changelog](https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-fe/-/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md) in case there are deprecations, special update changes, etc.
Besides that, it's relatively pretty easy to update Soapbox FE. There's two ways to go about it: with the command line or with an unofficial script.
## Updating with the command line
To update Soapbox FE via the command line, do the following:
```
# Download the build.
curl -L https://gitlab.com/soapbox-pub/soapbox-fe/-/jobs/artifacts/v(latest.version.here)/download?job=build-production -o soapbox-fe.zip
# Remove all the current Soapbox FE build in Pleroma's instance directory.
sudo rm -R /opt/pleroma/instance/static/packs
sudo rm /opt/pleroma/instance/static/index.html
sudo rm -R /opt/pleroma/instance/static/sounds
# Unzip the new build to Pleroma's instance directory.
busybox unzip soapbox-fe.zip -o -d /opt/pleroma/instance
```
## Updating with an unofficial script
You can also update Soapbox using [Sandia Mesa's updater bash script for Soapbox FE](https://code.sandiamesa.com/traboone/soapbox-update).
First, download the updater script if you haven't yet: ``curl -O https://code.sandiamesa.com/traboone/soapbox-update/raw/branch/master/soapbox-update.sh``
Then, set the permissions of the updater script so that it can be executed: ``chmod u+x soapbox-update.sh``
Finally, run ``sudo ./soapbox-update.sh``.
## After updating Soapbox
The changes take effect immediately, just refresh your browser tab. It's not necessary to restart the Pleroma service.
