1. If synapse was installed in a virtualenv then active that virtualenv before
upgrading. If synapse is installed in a virtualenv in ``~/.synapse/`` then
run:

2. If synapse was installed using pip then upgrade to the latest version by
running:
.. code:: bash
pip install --upgrade --process-dependency-links https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/tarball/master
# restart synapse
synctl restart
If synapse was installed using git then upgrade to the latest version by
running:
.. code:: bash
# Pull the latest version of the master branch.
git pull
# Update the versions of synapse's python dependencies.
python synapse/python_dependencies.py | xargs pip install --upgrade
# restart synapse
./synctl restart
To check whether your update was sucessful, you can check the Server header
returned by the Client-Server API:

git pull

.. code:: bash

curl https://<your.server.domain>/_matrix/federation/v1/version
So for the Matrix.org HS server the URL would be: https://matrix.org/_matrix/federation/v1/version.

# You may need to specify a port (eg, :8448) if your server is not
# configured on port 443.
