# Updating Unsloth

### Update Unsloth Desktop

Unsloth Desktop checks for updates automatically after startup. To check manually, open **Settings** → **General** and select **Check for updates**.

* **macOS and Windows:** Select **Update now**. Unsloth installs the update and relaunches the app.
* **Linux AppImage:** In-app updates are supported for the AppImage build.
* **Linux `.deb`:** Download the latest package from the [Linux download page](https://unsloth.ai/download/linux) and install it over the existing version. Debian package installs update manually.

Unsloth Desktop updates independently from manual Unsloth Studio and Unsloth Core installations.

### Update Unsloth Studio

You can use the same install commands to update

#### **MacOS, Linux, WSL:**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://unsloth.ai/install.sh | sh
```

#### **Windows PowerShell:**

```bash
irm https://unsloth.ai/install.ps1 | iex
```

### Updating Unsloth Core:

```bash
pip install --upgrade unsloth unsloth_zoo
```

#### Updating Unsloth Core without dependency updates:

<pre class="language-bash" data-overflow="wrap"><code class="lang-bash">pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir --no-deps unsloth
<strong>pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir --no-deps unsloth_zoo
</strong></code></pre>

#### To use an old version of Unsloth:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```bash
pip install --force-reinstall --no-cache-dir --no-deps unsloth==2025.1.5
```

{% endcode %}

'2025.1.5' is one of the previous old versions of Unsloth. Change it to a specific release listed on our [Github here](https://github.com/unslothai/unsloth/releases).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://unsloth.ai/docs/get-started/install/updating.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
