# Upgrading groundSwXtch

To update the groundSwXtch, do the following:

1. Sign in to the Server where the groundSwXtch is running.
2. Enter the following commands to download and install the **groundSwXtch installer script**:

```shell
curl -fL "https://swxrkdistribution.blob.core.windows.net/swxcontainer01/install-groundswxtch.sh?sp=rl&st=2026-05-21T21:40:09Z&se=2027-05-23T05:55:09Z&spr=https&sv=2026-02-06&sr=c&sig=HA9RA9sUQwLBKfePWwB3UhLKGlvtJgoT6z2bCU1Kb6k%3D" -o install-groundswxtch.sh && chmod +x install-groundswxtch.sh

3. The recommended method will install with dependencies but without persisting configuration data

Shell

```shell
 chmod +x install-groundswxtch.sh
 sudo ~/install-groundswxtch.sh install --image-tag groundswxtch:dev-70d1fc5c
```
  1. NIC selection for wan and lan interfaces can be added with these arguments: `--lan-iface enp2s0 --wan-iface enp2s0`

`Example:`

```shell
sudo ~/install-groundswxtch.sh install --image-tag groundswxtch:dev-70d1fc5c  --lan-iface enp2s0 --wan-iface enp2s0
```

1. After the installation, run the following command to see if the container is running:

```shell
docker ps
```

There should be a line with the name gswx. For example:

```shell
ubuntu@drs-ground-swxtch-001:~$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                       COMMAND            CREATED       STATUS        PORTS     NAMES
