How to update
To update your freqtrade installation, please use one of the below methods, corresponding to your installation method.
!!! Note "Tracking changes" Breaking changes / changed behavior will be documented in the changelog that is posted alongside every release. For the develop branch, please follow PR's to avoid being surprised by changes.
Why update?
Keeping your bot updated not only ensures that you have the latest features and improvements, but is a requirement to keep your bot running smoothly. Freqtrade is heavily dependent on the underlying exchange API's, which change pretty frequently if considered across exchanges. To ensure ongoing compatibility, please make sure to update your bot regularly.
Docker
!!! Note "Legacy installations using the master image"
We're switching from master to stable for the release Images - please adjust your docker-file and replace freqtradeorg/freqtrade:master with freqtradeorg/freqtrade:stable
docker compose pull
docker compose up -d
Installation via setup script
./setup.sh --update
!!! Note Make sure to run this command with your virtual environment disabled!
Plain native installation
Please ensure that you're also updating dependencies - otherwise things might break without you noticing.
git pull
pip install -U -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .
# Ensure freqUI is at the latest version
freqtrade install-ui
Problems updating
Update-problems usually come missing dependencies (you didn't follow the above instructions) - or from dependencies which fail to install. We try to make sure that heavy dependencies have wheels available for major platforms, but sometimes this is not possible.
Please refer to the corresponding installation sections (common problem sections linked below).
