Hassbian is based on Raspbian and uses the same repositories. Any changes to Raspbian will be reflected in Hassbian. To update and upgrade system packages and installed software (excluding Home Assistant) do the following.
Log in as the `pi` account and execute the following commands:

```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
```

#### Updating Home Assistant

<div class='note'>

You can use `hassbian-config` to automate the process by running `sudo hassbian-config upgrade homeassistant`

</div>

To update the Home Assistant installation execute the following command as the `pi` user.

```bash
sudo systemctl stop home-assistant@homeassistant.service
sudo -u homeassistant -H -s
source /srv/homeassistant/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
exit
sudo systemctl start home-assistant@homeassistant.service
```
