# Initiating The Update Process New Version - MikroTik Script RouterOS

    How To Initiating The Update Process New Version
    We can now update our router with the following command:

    /system package update download

    Result:
    [admin@MikroTik] > system package update download
              channel: bugfix
      current-version: 6.42.6
       latest-version: 6.45.8
               status: Downloaded, please reboot router to upgrade it
     This process is usually fast. When it’s finished, we can see all downloaded packages:

    /file print where name~".npk"

    Result:
    [admin@MikroTik] > file print where name~".npk"
     # NAME                                  TYPE                                       SIZE CREATION-TIME
     0 routeros-mipsbe-6.45.8.npk            package                                 11.5MiB mar/09/2020 21:48:44
     1 ntp-6.45.8-mipsbe.npk                 package                                260.1KiB mar/09/2020 21:48:28
    The update process will be finished after reboot. During the shutdown process, RouterOS will check for the new .npk files on the local disk and install them. To reboot the router from the command line, type the command:

    /system reboot

    [admin@MikroTik] > system reboot
    Reboot, yes? [y/N]: y
    System will reboot shortly
    The update and reboot process lasts about minute. Just be patient.
