In this article, we explain how to update cPanel and WHM to newer versions and install operating system updates.
Note
Before installing updates, we recommend that you create a snapshot of the server in case any problems occur. This will allow you to quickly restore the server to its previous state.
Update components from the command line

Run the following scripts as the root user:
