# Update Manually on Red Hat Enterprise Linux

This page describes how to update manually to the latest release of `rippled` on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. You can also set up [automatic updates](update-rippled-automatically-on-linux.md).

These instructions assume you have already [installed `rippled` on a supported version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux using Ripple's `rpm` package distribution](install-rippled-on-rhel.md). If you are upgrading from `rippled` 1.6.x or older, remove it and perform a fresh install instead.

{% admonition type="success" name="Tip" %}To perform these steps all at once, you can run the `/opt/ripple/bin/update-rippled.sh` script, which is included with the `rippled` package. This script should be run as a `sudo` user.{% /admonition %}

To update manually, complete the following steps:

1. Download and install the latest `rippled` package:

    ```
    sudo yum update rippled
    ```

    This update procedure leaves your existing config files in place.

2. Reload the `systemd` unit files:

    ```
    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    ```

3. Restart the `rippled` service:

    ```
    sudo service rippled restart
    ```
