# Update Plane version

Keeping Plane up to date ensures you’re using the latest features, improvements, and security fixes. Here’s how to upgrade your Plane installation with a single command.

<Note>
  The upgrade process may involve a brief downtime as services are updated and restarted.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

We recommend creating a backup of your data before any version updates. See [Backup data](/self-hosting/manage/backup-restore).

## Check version

You can quickly check your Plane version by clicking the **?** icon on the sidebar.

![Check version number](https://media.docs.plane.so/product/check-version.webp#center)

## Update version

<Warning>
  For Commercial Edition v1.13.0, ensure you're using the **latest version of Docker Compose**. Check your Docker Compose version with `docker-compose --version` and update if needed.

  **Prime CLI is for Docker installations only.** These commands only work on Plane instances originally installed using `prime-cli`.
</Warning>

1. Update your Prime CLI with the command ↓:
   ```bash theme={null}
   sudo prime-cli update-cli
   ```
   The latest version of the CLI ensures your Plane upgrades happen smoothly.

2. To update Plane to the latest version, run:
   ```bash theme={null}
   sudo prime-cli upgrade
   ```
   This command checks for the latest version of Plane and applies the upgrade if a new version is available.

  <Warning>
    This guide covers how to upgrade from version 0.14.0 and above. If you’re running version 0.13.2 or below, first follow the guide to [upgrade to version v0.14.0](/self-hosting/manage/upgrade-from-0.13.2-0.14.0) before continuing with these steps.
  </Warning>

  ## Prerequisites

  Before starting, make a backup of your Plane instance. For detailed steps, see the [Backup data](/self-hosting/manage/backup-restore#community-edition) section. This is strongly recommended to ensure you have a safe restore point.

  ## Update version

  1. Download the latest stable release with ↓:
     ```bash theme={null}
     curl -fsSL -o setup.sh https://github.com/makeplane/plane/releases/latest/download/setup.sh
     ```

  2. Execute the setup script with ↓:

     ```bash theme={null}
     ./setup.sh
     ```

     This will bring up a menu with several options. Select option `5` to upgrade:

     ```bash theme={null}
     Select a Action you want to perform:
        1) Install (x86_64)
        2) Start
        3) Stop
        4) Restart
        5) Upgrade
        6) View Logs
        7) Backup Data
        8) Exit

     Action [2]: 5
     ```

     Choosing this option stops all services and downloads the latest `docker-compose.yaml` and `variables-upgrade.env` files. The `plane.env` file won’t be overwritten, so your existing environment settings are safe.

     You’ll see a message indicating the services have been stopped.

  3. After the update completes, select `6` to exit the prompt.

  4. After the upgrade, open `variables-upgrade.env` and compare it with your `plane.env` file. Copy any new variables from `variables-upgrade.env` to your `plane.env` file and set the correct values. This step is essential to ensure that all configuration changes are in place for the latest version.

  5. Once your `plane.env` file is updated, start your Plane instance again by selecting option `2`.
