# Upgrade

Time to upgrade. First let's update `guix` itself.

```
guix pull
```

And adding the following to your shell profile

```
# after running guix pull
if [ -d $HOME/.config/guix/current ]; then
  GUIX_PROFILE="$HOME/.config/guix/current"
  . "$GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile"
  unset GUIX_PROFILE
fi
```

This will put the latest `guix` command under `~/.config/guix/current/bin`

run `hash guix` after the latest `guix` is in PATH.


Next step is to upgrade the already installed packages

```
guix upgrade
```
