# Download the Pentaho upgrade file

The upgrade process includes using the update file for your platform and the installer hash files, which you must download from the [Support Portal](https://support.pentaho.com/home) before running the upgrade installer.

Perform the following steps to download the update file and installer hash files.

1. On the [Support Portal](https://support.pentaho.com/hc/en-us) home page, sign in using the Pentaho support username and password provided in your Pentaho Welcome Packet.
2. In the Pentaho card, click **Download**.

   The Downloads page opens.
3. Click **See all \<number> articles** to see the full list of **9.x** downloads.

   The **9.x** page opens.
4. Click **Pentaho 9.3 GA Release**.

   The **Pentaho 9.3 GA Release** page opens.
5. At the bottom of the page, in the file component section, navigate to the `Utilities and Tools/Pentaho Server Upgrade Installer` folder.
6. Depending on your platform, download one of the following files:
   * **Linux**

     `pentaho-update-<9.3.0.0-<build number>.bin`
   * **Windows**

     `pentaho-update-9.3.0.0-<build number>.exe`
7. From the **Pentaho 9.3 GA Release** page, navigate back to the **9.x** page.
8. Click the **Installer Hash Files** link.

   **Note:** The installer hash files are required for installing 9.3.0.3, 9.4.0.1, and later.

   The Installer Hash Files Support page opens.
9. In the file component section, download the `installer-hash-files-<release number>-<build number>.zip` file, but do not extract it. Later, during the upgrade process, you are prompted for the location of this file.

   **Note:** The release number for the `installer-hash-files-<release number>-<build number>.zip` file does not relate to the release number for the version of Pentaho that you are upgrading. Always use the latest version of the `installer-hash-files-<release number>-<build number>.zip` file that is posted on the [Support Portal](https://support.pentaho.com/home) to upgrade Pentaho.
10. (Optional) If needed, move the downloaded files to a temporary location on your workstation.

You are now prepared to begin your upgrade to Pentaho 9.3.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.pentaho.com/install/9.3-install/pentaho-upgrade-cp/download-the-pentaho-upgrade-file-pentaho-upgrade.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
