FREEBSD 14.2-RELEASE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


ABSTRACT

This article gives some brief instructions on installing FreeBSD 14.2-RELEASE
and upgrading the systems running earlier releases.

 * Upgrading FreeBSD


INSTALLING FREEBSD

The Installing FreeBSD chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook provides more in-depth
information about the installation program itself, including a guided
walk-through with screenshots.


UPGRADING FREEBSD

If you are upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, please read the
upgrading section in the Release Notes for notable incompatibilities carefully.


UPGRADING FROM SOURCE

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in Updating
FreeBSD from Source.

For Git use the releng/14.2 branch which will be where any upcoming Security
Advisories or Errata Notices will be applied.


UPGRADING USING "FREEBSD UPDATE"

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64, arm64, and i386
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 13.4-RELEASE or
14.1-RELEASE can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update fetch
# freebsd-update install

Now the freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits belonging to 14.2-RELEASE.
During this process freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging configuration
files.

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.2-RELEASE
# freebsd-update install

The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before the
non-kernel components are updated.

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update(8) needs to be run again to install the new
userland components:

# freebsd-update install

At this point, users of systems being upgraded from earlier FreeBSD releases
will be prompted by freebsd-update(8) to rebuild or reinstall all third-party
applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree or packages installed by
pkg(8)) due to updates in system libraries.

After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if
freebsd-update(8) printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run
freebsd-update(8) again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system
libraries:

# freebsd-update install

Finally, reboot into a fully 14.2-RELEASE system:

# shutdown -r now
