How do I upgrade?

Upgrades are able to be carried out from the command line. The first step is to upgrade your controller model, then each of your other models. If you are unsure of your models’ names, then execute juju models for a list.

From Juju 2.5

juju upgrade-controller --agent-version 2.5.8
juju upgrade-juju -m <model-name> --agent-version 2.5.8

From Juju 2.4

juju upgrade-juju -m controller --agent-version 2.5.8
juju upgrade-juju -m <model-name> --agent-version 2.5.8

How do I get it?

If you are new to Juju, we recommend that you install Juju 2.6. This release is intended for users who are maintaining their current systems.

The best way to get your hands on this release of Juju is to install it as a snap package:
