# Updating your version of Aptana [edit]

This page describes how to update your version of Aptana to the most recent released version. The current version can always be found at http://www.aptana.com/ at the side of the page.

## Introduction

Aptana will automatically check for updates every time it starts up. You can check for and automatically install any updates to Aptana to be sure that you are always working with the most current released version. Check for updates directly from the Aptana application.

Because Aptana will re-start after installing updates, make sure that you have saved your workspace before updating Aptana. If there are no available updates, Aptana will display a message that no updates are currently available.

## Instructions

To check for and install Aptana updates:

1. From the Help menu, select Check for Aptana Updates Now... to search for updates.

   If updates are available, Aptana displays a pop-up window with an Install button.

2. Click the Install button to go .
3. On the Updates window, make sure that Aptana Update Central and Show the latest version of a feature only boxes are checked
4. Click the Next button.
5. Choose the option for I accept the terms of the license agreement. Click the Next button.
6. Click the Finish button to download the update.

   After the update has downloaded, a Verification pop-up window opens.

7. On the Verification pop-up window, choose Install All to complete the installation.

Aptana completes the update installation process. After installing the updates, Aptana will prompt you to quit and re-start Aptana Studio.

Note: If after updating and re-starting Aptana, you discover that you have lost your preference settings, your workspace may have been switched as part of the update. This is a known issue and can be resolved by switching your workspace back to your previous workspace. See Switching your workspace for details.

## Installing manually

Download the latest release from http://update.aptana.com/install/3.2/ and follow the manual installation instructions on the page.

Note: You may need to start Aptana or Eclipse from the command-line with the "clean" option: aptana -clean (or eclipse -clean) if the update didn't seem to work correctly
