Keeping your scripts updated is important - new versions often fix security vulnerabilities and bugs. Softaculous makes it straightforward to upgrade any script it has installed.

## Check for available upgrades

1. Log in to cPanel and open **Softaculous Apps Installer**.
2. Click the **All Installations** icon (a small box/grid icon) to see every script you have installed through Softaculous.
3. If a newer version is available for any script, an upgrade icon will appear next to it in the list.

## Run the upgrade

1. Click the upgrade icon next to the script you want to update.
2. Review the details on the upgrade page, then click **Upgrade**.
3. Softaculous will copy the new files over. Once complete, follow any on-screen instructions to finish the upgrade for that particular script.

:::tip
Some scripts (such as WordPress) may require additional steps after the file upgrade, such as running a database update. Follow the prompts shown after the upgrade completes.
:::

Repeat these steps for any other scripts shown as having available updates.
