{{:qortal_official_logo_transparent_.png?400|}}

This is a guide for updating the QORTector. 

===== How To Update The Core=====

This will remove all the log files, download the newest version of the qortal.jar:

<code>cd && cd qortal && ./stop.sh && rm qortal.jar && curl -L -O https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.jar && ./start.sh</code>

===== How To Update The DB & Bootstrap =====

Go to the [[How To Bootstrap & Delete The DB]] page.

===== How To Update Core & Bootstrap In One Command =====

If you’d like, you can simply replace the core and db (to bootstrap) all in one command. A bootstrap is a download of a database that is updated every 12 hours so that you only have to sync the remaining blocks from the latest bootstrap creation. You will notice several 0-100% processes during the popup screen, then you will need to wait for it to finish synchronizing which will continue after the popup has closed:: 

<code> cd && cd qortal && ./stop.sh && rm qortal.jar && rm -R db && curl -L -O https://github.com/Qortal/qortal/releases/latest/download/qortal.jar && ./start.sh</code>

===== How To Update The UI =====

To update the UI, open the UI. If there is an update available, you'll see a notification like the screenshot below:
