# Installing updates to the Cloud C² Server

From time to time new versions of Cloud C² are released, and when published your server will check for over-the-air updates at login or server start. When available, these updates may be installed quickly and easily. For Linux and MacOS deployments, upgrades are automatic. 

{% hint style="info" %}
For Windows deployments, a new binary must be downloaded, replacing the existing.
{% endhint %}

You may notice at server start:

```
[*] Initializing Hak5 Cloud C2 v3.0.1
[*] Hostname: example.com
[*] DB Path: c2.db
[*] Validating License
[*] License Valid
[*] Running Hak5 Cloud C2
[!] New C2 Server Update Available
```

Or upon login:

![](/files/dRF3U3NfJ9KJp9PL9zJ8)

To apply the update, click the Update button.

The console will report the following information:

```
[!] Overseer update in progress, restarting
[*] Shutting down gracefully
[*] Server stopped
[*] Initializing Hak5 Cloud C2 v3.0.2
[*] Hostname: example.com
[*] DB Path: c2.db
[*] Validating License
[*] License Valid
[*] Running Hak5 Cloud C2
```

The web session will logout, and upon login you will be greeted with the new version.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.hak5.org/cloud-c2/guides/installing-updates-to-the-cloud-c-server.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
