### <a name="upgrade"></a>What are the steps to upgrade RaspAP?
Upgrading your current install to a **specific release** is very straightforward. For example, to upgrade to release [version 1.3.1](https://github.com/billz/raspap-webgui/releases/tag/1.3.1), enter the following in the RaspAP install folder:
```
sudo git fetch --tags
sudo git checkout tags/1.3.1
```
A tag is a pointer that isn't connected to the main development tree that git knows about. As a result, git will reply that you're in a 'detached HEAD' state. This isn't a big deal, it just means that you have a specific version of the code that isn't connected to the git tree.
Alternatively, if you want the latest **bleeding edge** commits from the master branch, use the following:
```
sudo git checkout master
sudo git pull origin master
```
Whichever method you choose (specific release or latest updates), your RaspAP configuration won't be changed.

The problem is caused when another program tries to re-configure hostapd at startup (pi-hole is an example). What you need to do is create a shell script that tries to ping a device IP on your network. If it fails then you should stop/start hostapd.
