Upgrading the agent

You are strongly encouraged to keep your redirection.io install up-to-date. We regularly push new versions of the agent, which include new features, improvements and fixes. Using the latest version of the agent is always a good idea.

APT-based distributions¶

1. Update the apt cache

   sudo apt update
   

2. Update only the agent:

   sudo apt install --only-upgrade redirectionio-agent
   

3. Restart the agent service. Depending on your service manager, it can be one of:

   sudo systemctl restart redirectionio-agent
   sudo service redirectionio-agent restart
   sudo /etc/init.d/redirectionio-agent restart
   

RPM-based distributions¶

1. Update the agent:

   sudo yum update redirectionio-agent
   

2. Restart the agent service. Depending on your service manager, it can be one of:

   sudo systemctl restart redirectionio-agent
   sudo service redirectionio-agent restart
   sudo /etc/init.d/redirectionio-agent restart
   
   

Binary / manual upgrade¶

Upgrading the manual way is the same as the manual installation. However, we strongly advise, if possible, to use a package manager to streamline the upgrade process.
