Question
How to install Plesk updates?
Answer
Note: For upgrading Plesk to the next release, see this KB article.
Note: During Plesk update:
- Plesk may go offline for several minutes, if updates require a Plesk restart
- Websites will stay online
If a service component is going to be updated, its service will be restarted.
Note: Make sure that port 8447 is opened in a firewall. If it is closed and cannot be opened for some reason, use the command-line instructions.

In Plesk, go to Tools & Settings and click Updates and Upgrades.

On the Updates and Upgrades page, click Update Components.
