### Upgrade an installation from source
If you installed Koel from source, upgrading is as simple as running the following commands:
```bash
cd <KOEL_ROOT_DIR>
git pull
git checkout latest
composer install
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan koel:init
```
### Upgrade a pre-compiled archive installation
For pre-compiled archived users, download the latest archive, extract it, and replace the existing files with the new ones.
Make sure, however, that old application code (typically `app` and `config` folders) is removed.
```bash
cd <KOEL_ROOT_DIR>
rm -rf app config

php artisan koel:init --no-assets
```
### Upgrade a Docker installation
