Upgrading Fedora Workstation
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fedora Workstation 23 and later include a graphical system upgrade
|
||
|
|
mechanism. When a newer stable release is available, you should see a
|
||
|
|
graphical notification, similar to the ones you see for system updates.
|
||
|
|
Clicking this, or running the _Software_ application and going to the
|
||
|
|
_Updates_ pane, should show you a simple graphical interface for
|
||
|
|
upgrading the system. It will first download the upgrade files, then
|
||
|
|
prompt you to reboot the system and install them, again in similar
|
||
|
|
fashion to a system update. When the upgrade is complete, the system
|
||
|
|
will reboot again to the new release.

Upgrading with DNF system upgrade plugin
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For instructions on upgrading with the DNF system upgrade plugin, refer
|
||
|
|
to link:DNF_system_upgrade[the dedicated page]. This mechanism can also
|
||
|
|
be used for Fedora Workstation upgrades if you prefer a command-line
|
||
|
|
tool or if you need to try and analyze some kind of package issue that
|
||
|
|
seems to be preventing the graphical method from working.

Online upgrade with pure DNF
|

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Upgrading from one release to the next using directly, without the DNF
|
||
|
|
system upgrade plugin, is not explicitly tested by Fedora QA and issues
|
||
|
|
with it are not considered blockers for a release, but in practice it
|
||
|
|
works for many users. To learn more, refer to
|
||
|
|
link:Upgrading_Fedora_using_package_manager[Upgrading Fedora using dnf].

Updating from a pre-release (Alpha, Beta, or other development snapshot)
|
||
|
|
to the final release
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are using a pre-release of Fedora, and want to know more about
|
||
|
|
upgrading to the final release, refer to
|
||
|
|
link:Upgrading_from_pre-release_to_final[Upgrading from pre-release to
|
||
|
|
final]. This is not technically an 'upgrade' operation, it is simply an
|
||
|
|
update, but there are some special considerations involved in making
|
||
|
|
sure you stay on the update track you intend to use, which are
|
||
|
|
documented on this page.

Upgrading to Rawhide and Branched
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
link:Releases/Rawhide[Rawhide] and link:Releases/Branched[Branched] are
|
||
|
|
the development releases of Fedora. They are suitable for people who are
|
||
|
|
developing or testing Fedora before broad public release. They are *NOT
|
||
|
|
SUITABLE* for regular day-to-day use unless you are a fairly experienced
|
||
|
|
user, and certainly not suitable for mission-critical use. You should
|
||
|
|
read through those pages carefully before deciding to run Branched or,
|
||
|
|
particularly, Rawhide. See link:Fedora_Release_Life_Cycle[Fedora Release
|
||
|
|
Life Cycle] for more information on how the whole Fedora cycle works
|
||
|
|
from Rawhide, to Branched, to the milestone releases (Alpha and Beta),
|
||
|
|
to a 'final' release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are sure you want to do it, upgrading to a Branched release or to
|
||
|
|
Rawhide can be done with link:DNF_system_upgrade[DNF system upgrade]
|
||
|
|
just like upgrading to a newer stable release. There are just a couple
|
||
|
|
of special notes that are covered in the instructions.

||
|

[[upgrading-from-end-of-life-releases]]

|
Upgrading from link:End_of_life[End of life] releases
|
||
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that Fedora strongly recommends against ever running an end-of-life
|
||
|
|
release on any production system, or any system connected to the public
|
||
|
|
internet, in any circumstances. You should never allow a production
|
||
|
|
Fedora deployment to reach end-of-life in the first place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With that in mind, if you do have an end-of-life release installed on a
|
||
|
|
system you cannot just discard or re-deploy, you can attempt to upgrade
|
||
|
|
it, though this is not officially tested or supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have Fedora 21 or later, you can try to upgrade using
|
||
|
|
link:DNF_system_upgrade#eol[DNF system upgrade].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have Fedora 20 or earlier, you will have to perform at least part
|
||
|
|
of the upgrade with
|
||
|
|
link:Upgrading_from_EOL_Fedora_using_package_manager[bare ]. You can
|
||
|
|
either use that method to upgrade to Fedora 21 or later and then use
|
||
|
|
link:DNF_system_upgrade[DNF system upgrade] to upgrade from there to a
|
||
|
|
currently-supported release, or just use bare or for the entire upgrade
|
||
|
|
process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that when upgrading from Fedora 20 or earlier, you are both
|
||
|
|
upgrading from an end-of-life release and using a
|
||
|
|
not-officially-recommended upgrade mechanism; such upgrades are very
|
||
|
|
much performed 'at your own risk' and may well require various kinds of
|
||
|
|
manual intervention to run and clean up the upgraded system, if they
|
||
|
|
work at all.

[[upgrading-using-the-fedora-installer-anaconda]]

|
|
Upgrading using the Fedora installer (anaconda)
|
||
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fedora releases up to Fedora 17 included upgrade functionality in the
|
||
|
|
Fedora installer, anaconda. This can be a better choice than
|
||
|
|
link:Upgrading_from_EOL_Fedora_using_package_manager[a package manager
|
||
|
|
upgrade] for some EOL upgrades, especially upgrades to Fedora Core 2,
|
||
|
|
Fedora Core 3, and Fedora 17. If you are attempting to upgrade from
|
||
|
|
Fedora 16 or older, it is highly recommended to upgrade to Fedora 16 and
|
||
|
|
then perform an installer upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17 before
|
||
|
|
upgrading any further.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To upgrade using the installer, boot the system from a network install
|
||
|
|
or DVD image for the target release, and run through the initial steps
|
||
|
|
of the install process. After you select storage devices - if your
|
||
|
|
install is located on a 'specialized' storage device, ensure to
|
||
|
|
configure and select it - the installer should offer you the option to
|
||
|
|
upgrade the installed system.
