# How to upgrade Bitcoin Core Version on Raspberry PI?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-06-16)

I want to upgrade my Bitcoin core version to latest release `0.16.1`. The release docs say `just copy over bitcoind/bitcoin-qt (on Linux)`. What does that mean? what to copy? Copying from where to where?

They are referring to executable binary files, either the *bitcoind* daemon or the *bitcoin-qt* GUI app.

The page with download links is <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.16.1/>

The only link for ARM (Raspberry Pi processor) is <https://bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-core-0.16.1/bitcoin-0.16.1-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz> and expanding it

```
$ tar -xf bitcoin-0.16.1-arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.gz

```

I find these directories:

```
~/bitcoin-0.16.1$ ll
bin/
include/
lib/
share/

~/bitcoin-0.16.1$ cd bin
~/bitcoin-0.16.1/bin$ ll

bitcoin-cli*
bitcoind*
bitcoin-tx*
test_bitcoin*

```

I don't find a *bitcoin-qt* GUI version; perhaps they have not compiled one yet. But you can certainly use the command-line versions, bitcoind, bitcoin-cli and bitcoin-tx.

The place to put them is where they will be found from anywhere, for example, `/usr/local/bin` or `/usr/bin`.
