To update Home Assistant to the latest release when available, run:

```bash
$ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
```

After updating, restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect. This means that you have to restart `hass` itself or the [autostarting](/getting-started/autostart/) daemon if you use any.
