I forgot something, if koha requires additional software to be
installed, when you run apt-get upgrade it will say something like this:
The following packages have been kept back:
koha-common
In this case, you will need to do:
apt-get dist-upgrade
which will install the needed packages and then it will upgrade koha.

Hi, as with anything else, you should first have a good (tested)
backup of everything. Koha, server software, and database.
Then, if you used the debian packages, you should check which version
you are "tracking", something like:
grep -Ri koha /etc/apt/*
would return something like:
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list:deb
http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 19.11 main
That means there is a file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koha.list which you
should edit and change to the version you want to track now. The
content of the file would be:
deb http://debian.koha-community.org/koha 21.05 main
if you want to track koha 21.05
Then you would:
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
and it should do the upgrade. With the following exception, if
apt-get upgrade says it would need to update mariadb-server or
mysql-server, then you should upgrade that first and separately, like
this:
apt-get update
apt-get install mariadb-server-10.3
apt-get upgrade
If you don't upgrade mariadb first, it will be DOWN when koha wants to
upgrade the database, leaving you with a half upgraded system. (And
using that backup).
Hope this helps.

Hi, all!
I think I have asked about this before, but I don't recall
getting a
definitive answer. But it's awhile, so here goes.
I have seen announcements about updates and upgrades to Koha.
("Come
and get it!") Alas, I don't find instructions for installing updates and
upgrades. There are initial installation instructions aplenty, but
alas, if
there are ones for updates and upgrades, I don't see them. So I ask:
How does one update or upgrades Koha?
Thanks for your help, everyone.
