# How to upgrade
When upgrading Insiders, you should always check the version of Material for
MkDocs which makes up the first part of the version qualifier, e.g., Insiders
`4.x.x` is currently based on `9.x.x`:
```
9.x.x-insiders-4.x.x
```
If the major version increased, it's a good idea to consult the [upgrade
guide] and go through the steps to ensure your configuration is up to date and
all necessary changes have been made.
[upgrade guide]: ../upgrade.md
[list of tags]: https://github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders/tags
Depending on how you installed and what you want to upgrade to you
need to run different commands:
=== "pip upgrade to release"
If you installed Insiders via `pip` and you want to upgrade to a
specific release, pick the tag from the [list of tags] and replace
the tag at the end of the URL of the command given below:
```
pip install --upgrade git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git@9.4.2-insiders-4.42.0
```
=== "pip upgrade to latest development"
If you installed Insiders via `pip` and want to upgrade to the
latest development version, run:
```
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://${GH_TOKEN}@github.com/squidfunk/mkdocs-material-insiders.git
```
The `--force-reinstall` option serves to make sure `pip` does, in fact,
install the latest development version, instead of deciding that nothing
is to be done based on the version numbers.
```
=== "git upgrade"
If you installed Insiders via `git`, you will first need to check
out the version you want to install into your workspace. After
this is done, you can run `pip` to install that version.
First, make sure that your local clone is up-to-date with the
upstream repository by running `git pull`.
You can look up the tags using `git tag --sort -refname` or you
can consult the [list of tags]. Then, checkout the tag you want to
use by replacing the one given in the command below (twice)and running
it from your workspace[^detached]:
[^detached]:
The `--detach` argument serves to tell `git` that you are ok to
have your workspace in the [detached head] state, which is
perfectly fine to have here.
[detached head]: https://www.git-tower.com/learn/git/faq/detached-head-when-checkout-commit/
```
cd mkdocs-material
git checkout --detach tags/9.4.2-insiders-4.42.0
```
Now, change back to the parent directory in which your Git
repository lives and run `pip`:
```
cd ..
pip install -e mkdocs-material
```
