Abstract

This article gives some brief instructions on installing + FreeBSD 11.4-RELEASE and upgrading the systems running + earlier releases.

1. Installing FreeBSD
2. Upgrading FreeBSD
2.1. Upgrading from Source
2.2. Upgrading Using “FreeBSD Update”

1. Installing FreeBSD

The Installing + FreeBSD chapter of the FreeBSD Handbook + provides more in-depth information about the installation + program itself, including a guided walk-through with + screenshots.

2. Upgrading FreeBSD

If you are upgrading from a previous release of FreeBSD, please + read upgrading + section in the Release Notes for notable + incompatibilities carefully.

2.1. Upgrading from Source

The procedure for doing a source code based update is + described in and + .

For SVN use the releng/11.4 + branch which will be where any upcoming Security Advisories or + Errata Notices will be applied.

2.2. Upgrading Using “FreeBSD Update”

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary + upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running + earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running + 11.3-RELEASE can upgrade as follows: 

# freebsd-update fetch
+# freebsd-update install

Now the freebsd-update(8) utility can fetch bits + belonging to 11.4-RELEASE. During this process + freebsd-update(8) will ask for help in merging + configuration files. 

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.4-RELEASE
# freebsd-update install

The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed + kernel before the non-kernel components are updated. 

# shutdown -r now

After rebooting, freebsd-update(8) needs to be run + again to install the new userland components: 

# freebsd-update install

At this point, users of systems being upgraded from + earlier FreeBSD releases will be prompted by + freebsd-update(8) to rebuild all third-party applications + (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in + system libraries.

After updating installed third-party applications (and + again, only if freebsd-update(8) printed a message + indicating that this was necessary), run + freebsd-update(8) again so that it can delete the old (no + longer used) system libraries: 

# freebsd-update install

Finally, reboot into 11.4-RELEASE 

# shutdown -r now
