Upgrade WHM/cPanel to latest version

It’s always a good idea to keep your WHM/cPanel installation up-to-date. You can upgrade cPanel via the WHM interface or via the command line.

Upgrade cPanel via the WHM interface:

1. Connect to WHM as root user
2. Navigate to cPanel >> Upgrade to Latest Version
   
   
3. Click the Click to Upgrade button. Select the Force option if you want to reinstall WHM/cPanel.
   

    

   Forced Reinstall
   This feature allows you to force a reinstall of the cPanel & WHM software, regardless of whether WHM detects that your system is up-to-date. This can be useful if any files are corrupt and you wish to reinstall them.

4. The process will begin. At the end you will see a message Upgrade complete
