title: Upgrading to a new release
---
# Preparing
The release page contains a changelog, and below it, upgrade instructions. **Read and understand** the release instructions.
Some tasks (like database migrations) can take a while, so we advise you to run commands inside a `tmux` or `screen`.
# Backup
Always make sure your database and `.env.production` file are properly backuped before performing upgrades.
Unless stated otherwise in the release notes, the following steps are enough to upgrade Mobilizon.
# Steps
### Fetch latest code
Switch to the `mobilizon` user:
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
```
And navigate to the Mobilizon root directory:
```bash
cd /home/mobilizon/live
```
Fetch the latest tags
```bash
git fetch --tags
```
And checkout the tag you want to switch to. For instance, if I want to upgrade to version `v1.1`:
```bash
git checkout v1.1
```
### Fetch new dependencies
Fetch new and/or updated Elixir and NodeJS dependencies
```bash
mix deps.get
```
```bash
cd js
yarn install
```
### Rebuild Mobilizon's front-end
```bash
yarn run build
cd ../
```
### Recompile Mobilizon
```bash
mix compile
```
Let's switch back to your regular user.
### Stop running Mobilizon processes
```bash
sudo systemctl stop mobilizon
```
### Perform database migrations
Go back to the `mobilizon` user.
```bash
sudo -i -u mobilizon
cd live
mix ecto.migrate
```
### Restart Mobilizon
Let's switch back one last time to your regular user.
```bash
sudo systemctl restart mobilizon
```
You can follow the Mobilizon logs to check that everything works properly.
```bash
sudo journalctl -u mobilizon -f
```
**Thats all!** Youre running the new version of Mobilizon now.
If you have issues after upgrading, try reviewing upgrade steps and release notes.
