# Node Upgrade (Manual)

## Update Binary Version via Docker[​](https://wiki.findora.org/docs/validators/update-version#update-image-version) <a href="#update-image-version" id="update-image-version"></a>

**Step1:** Run the command below to download the upgrade script to your node.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Mainnet" %}
{% code title="Enter the following command:" overflow="wrap" %}

```
wget -O update_version_mainnet.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FindoraNetwork/findora-wiki-docs/main/.gitbook/assets/update_version_mainnet.sh
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Testnet" %}
{% code title="Enter the following command:" overflow="wrap" %}

```
wget -O update_version_testnet.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FindoraNetwork/findora-wiki-docs/main/.gitbook/assets/update_version_testnet.sh
```

{% endcode %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**✅** Completed: Use WGET to download the latest binary.

**Step 2:** Run the command below to run the update script and upgrade your node.

{% code title="Enter the following command:" overflow="wrap" %}

```
bash -x update_version_mainnet.sh
```

{% endcode %}

The latest version will be displayed as output on your node once completed. Note your node is expected to go offline briefly during the upgrade process.

**✅** Completed: Use BASH to run the update script and upgrade your node. Confirm the version.

**Step 3:** Once the upgrade script completes, run the following command to ensure your node is running the updated release.

{% code title="Enter the following command:" %}

```
docker ps
```

{% endcode %}

Ensure part of the output displays `findoranetwork/findorad:v0.x.yy-release` where "x" is the major release number and "yy" is the minor release number.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
See the [**Upgrade Guides** ](/validator-materials/upgrade-guides.md)page for the most up-to-date version.
{% endhint %}

**✅** Completed: Ensure your node is upgraded.

### Expectations

The `Update Image Version` script will:

```
1. Retrieve the latest version number all validators should run.
2. Stop the existing `findorad` docker container.
3. Start a new Docker container with the latest version.
4. Output the Docker container status and image version.
```
