## Upgrading using the CLI

If you are a power user utilizing our [Node Manager](https://github.com/maidsafe/autonomi/tree/main/ant-node-manager) CLI tool and want to upgrade your nodes to the latest version, first make sure you have the latest version of the Node Manger with the command:

```bash
antup update
```

Then, to begin upgrading your nodes, use the command:

```bash
antctl upgrade --interval 60000
```

Using the `--interval 60000` argument will leave 60 seconds pause between upgrading each of your nodes. This is recommended for people running up to 50 nodes. 

If you are running more than 50 nodes we'd recommend a longer interval of `90000` or more.

Once upgraded run the command **`antctl start --interval 60000`**
