When Matomo Analytics has a new update available, the administrator is notified via email and the upper-right corner upon dashboard login. Below we cover how to update Matomo automatically within your browser.
Update Matomo
- Select Update automatically on the welcome screen.
Pressing Download [Version] prompts you to download the update file to handle manually.
<li>After the update completes, press <strong>Continue to Matomo</strong> at the bottom.

You may be prompted to upgrade your Matomo database afterwards. You can do so using Upgrade Matomo button.
Alternatively, you can SSH into the cPanel account and run the following command:
php /home/cpaneluser/public_html/MatomoFolderName/console core:update
Note: You can backup your database beforehand in cPanel.
Continue to Matomo dashboard to see new features.
