# How to update channel
|
|
## How to upgrade from Rock to Rolling
|
|
|
|
To users new to OpenMandriva Lx we suggest to start with Rock stable release to learn how the system works then, if you wish so, migrate to Rolling.
|
|
|
|
A 'Rolling' user should be able to use command line and know basics of [dnf](/en/doc/using-dnf) package manager.
|
|
Also the user needs to read and understand [OpenMandriva Release Plan and Repositories](/en/doc/release-plan-and-repositories).
|
|
|
|
To upgrade to Rolling:
|
|
|
|
- Open Software Repository Selector (`om-repo-picker`)
|
|
|
|
Application menu > Software Repository Selector
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can also select OpenMandriva repo-picker in OM Welcome
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Go to the very first section 'Update channel'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Select 'Rolling' from drop-down menu
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirm by click on OK and when prompted enter your root password. This will take a while so be patient.
|
|
|
|
By this action you have now changed the repositories from Rock to Rolling so you want to perform a system upgrade (`distro-sync`).
|
|
|
|
- To upgrade your system open Konsole and run the commands:
|
|
```
|
|
$ sudo dnf clean all ; dnf clean all
|
|
$ sudo dnf --allowerasing distro-sync
|
|
```
|
|
