# Upgrade Instructions
|
|
|
|
This document is intended to help users who find themselves many versions behind to upgrade safely.
|
|
|
|
## General Upgrade Path
|
|
|
|
Each upgrade should jump at most 2 major versions, except where
|
|
[dedicated instructions](#dedicated-instructions-for-specific-upgrade-paths)
|
|
are provided for a larger jump between specific versions.
|
|
If your upgrade path has no applicable [dedicated instructions](#dedicated-instructions-for-specific-upgrade-paths),
|
|
review the [version-specific upgrade details](/consul/docs/upgrading/upgrade-specific)
|
|
to plan your upgrade, starting from the next version and working
|
|
upwards to your target version.
|
|
|
|
For example, to upgrade from Consul 1.12 to Consul 1.15:
|
|
|
|
1. Upgrade to Consul 1.14 as an intermediate step.
|
|
To plan, review the upgrade details for
|
|
[1.13](/consul/docs/upgrading/upgrade-specific#consul-1-13-x) and
|
|
[1.14](/consul/docs/upgrading/upgrade-specific#consul-1-14-x).
|
|
1. Upgrade to Consul 1.15.
|
|
To plan, review the upgrade details for
|
|
[1.15](/consul/docs/upgrading/upgrade-specific#consul-1-15-x).
|
|
|
|
## Dedicated Instructions for Specific Upgrade Paths
|
|
|
|
The following table provides links to dedicated instructions
|
|
for directly upgrading from a version in the starting range
|
|
to a destination version.
