# Upgrading Wings
Upgrading Wings is a painless process and should take less than a minute to complete.

## Wings Version Requirements
Each version of Pterodactyl Panel also has a corresponding minimum version of Wings that
is required for it to run. Please see the chart below for how these versions line up. In
most cases your base Wings version should match that of your Panel.

| Panel Version | Wings Version | Supported |
| ------------- | ------------- | --------- |
| 1.0.x         | 1.0.x         |           |
| 1.1.x         | 1.1.x         |           |
| 1.2.x         | 1.2.x         |           |
| **1.3.x**     | **1.3.x**     | ✅        |

## Download Updated Binary
First, download the updated wings binary into `/usr/local/bin`.

``` bash
curl -L -o /usr/local/bin/wings https://github.com/pterodactyl/wings/releases/latest/download/wings_linux_amd64
chmod u+x /usr/local/bin/wings
```

## Restart Process
Finally, restart the wings process. Your running servers will not be affected and any open
connections to the instance will re-connect automatically.

``` bash
systemctl restart wings
```
