I have made some amendments to the top section to ensure the right process gets followed, before it was too easy to just copy the code without reading further

page Updating Home Assistant Step to update Home Assistant. 2016-05-04 10:00 true false true true

The upgrade process differed depending on the installtion you have, review the documentaion specific to your install HASSbian, Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer, Vagrant, or Virtualenv.

The default way to update Home Assistant to the latest release, when available, is:

$ pip3 install --upgrade homeassistant

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 daemon (if applicable)

To avoid permission errors, the upgrade must be run as the same user as the installation was completed, again review the documentation specific to your install [HASSbian](/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-image/), [Raspberry Pi All-In-One Installer](/getting-started/installation-raspberry-pi-all-in-one/), [Vagrant](/getting-started/installation-vagrant/), or [Virtualenv](/getting-started/installation-virtualenv)t.

BRUH automation has created a tutorial video 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:

$ 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.

The "dev" branch is likely to be unstable. Potential consequences include loss of data and instance corruption.

$ pip3 install --upgrade git+git://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.git@dev
