The default way to update Home Assistant to the latest release, when available, is:
```bash
$ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant
```
Different installation methods as [HASSbian](/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-image/#update-home-assistant-on-hassbian), [Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer](/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/#upgrading), [Vagrant](/getting-started/installation-vagrant/), or [Virtualenv](/getting-started/installation-virtualenv/#upgrading-home-assistant) may have an alternative way for updating Home Assistant.
After updating, you must restart Home Assistant for the changes to take effect. This means that you will have to restart `hass` itself or the [autostarting](/getting-started/autostart/) daemon (if applicable)
<p class='note note'>
To avoid permission errors, the upgrade must be run as the same user as the installation was completed.

[BRUH automation](http://www.bruhautomation.com) has created [a tutorial video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuG2rs1Cl2Y) explaining how to upgrade Home Assistant.
#### {% linkable_title Run a specific version %}
In the event that a Home Assistant version doesn't play well with your hardware setup, you can downgrade to a previous release:
```bash
$ pip3 install homeassistant==0.XX.X
```
#### {% linkable_title Run the development version %}
If you want to stay on the bleeding-edge Home Assistant development branch, you can upgrade to `dev`.
<p class='note warning'>
The "dev" branch is likely to be unstable. Potential consequences include loss of data and instance corruption.
</p>
```bash
$ pip3 install --upgrade git+git://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git@dev
```
