[[upgrade-standard]]
=== Standard Upgrade
A standard upgrade is the most straightforward way to upgrade Kibana, and it's
possible when you're upgrading from Kibana version 4.2 or higher.
If you haven't already, consult this <<upgrade,table>> to verify that standard
upgrade is supported for your version of Kibana.
NOTE: If you've saved and/or exported objects in Kibana that rely on the
<<search,Elasticsearch Query DSL>>, make sure to check the Elasticsearch
{ref}/breaking-changes.html[breaking changes] documentation and take the
necessary remediation steps as per those instructions.

==== Upgrading using a `deb` or `rpm` package
. Stop the existing Kibana process using the appropriate command for your
system.
. Use `rpm` or `dpkg` to install the new package. All files should be placed in
their proper locations and config files should not be overwritten.
+
[NOTE]
--
Kibana 4.x used a different config location than 5.0+, so if you're upgrading
from 4.x, you will need to copy the configurations from your old config
(`/opt/kibana/config/kibana.yml`) to your new config
(`/etc/kibana/kibana.yml`).
Make sure you remove or update any configurations
that are indicated in the <<breaking-changes,breaking changes>> documentation
otherwise Kibana will fail to start.
--
. Upgrade any plugins by removing the existing plugin and reinstalling the
appropriate version using the `kibana-plugin` script. Check out the
<<kibana-plugins,plugins>> documentation for more information.
. Start the new Kibana process using the appropriate command for your system.
[float]
==== Upgrading using a `zip` or `tar.gz` archive
. Extract the `zip` or `tar.gz` archive to a new directory to be sure that you
don't overwrite the `config` or `data` directories.
. Copy the files from the `config` directory from your old installation to your
new installation. Make sure you remove or update any configurations that are
indicated in the <<breaking-changes,breaking changes>> documentation
otherwise Kibana will fail to start.
. Copy the files from the `data` directory from your old installation to your
new installation.
. Install the appropriate versions of all your plugins for your new
installation using the `kibana-plugin` script. Check out the
<<kibana-plugins,plugins>> documentation for more information.
. Stop the old Kibana process.
. Start the new Kibana process.
