# Upgrade

> Upgrade the Lava RPC Provider (lavap) by building the latest tag and restarting the process.

<Note>
  The provider fronts your own chain nodes. Upgrading `lavap` does not upgrade those underlying nodes.
</Note>

## Build latest

```bash theme={null}
cd ~/lava || git clone https://github.com/lavanet/lava.git ~/lava && cd ~/lava
git fetch --tags
# Checkout a specific tag if announced, else build default
# git checkout vX.Y.Z
LAVA_BINARY=lavap make install
lavap version || lavap --version
```

## Restart

```bash theme={null}
# If systemd-managed
sudo systemctl restart lavap && journalctl -u lavap -f -o cat

# Or run directly (example)
lavap rpcprovider lava-provider.yml --from <wallet_name> --geolocation 1 --chain-id lava-mainnet-1
```

## Verify

```bash theme={null}
# Connectivity test
lavap test rpcprovider --from <wallet_name>
```
