Is there a general update procedure for point releases? I installed Tryton 6.2 in a venv using pip in mid-January (“% pip install trytond”), and yesterday received a new flury of Tryton update notices in my email inbox. Is there a simple pip command to update trytond packages? Is there a post-update procedure I need to follow, perhaps involving trytond-admin? I tried searching the documentation and forum without success. My focus at this time is on _using_ Tryton but also want to stay current, and might as well follow point releases instead of LTS since it seems the procedure will be the same if I am only using core modules.
Also I noticed that the installed version of trytond is newer than the rest of my trytond packages, even though I installed them at the same time. Is this to be expected?
```auto
(env) [dale@starlord ~/work/trytond]$ pip list | grep trytond
trytond 6.2.3
trytond-company 6.2.0
trytond-country 6.2.0
trytond-currency 6.2.0
trytond-party 6.2.0
trytond-product 6.2.0
(env) [dale@starlord ~/work/trytond]$
```
Thanks and best regards,
Dale

The [database update](https://docs.tryton.org/projects/server/en/latest/topics/setup_database.html#update-a-database) is only needed between series update (when two first numbers are changing).
In such case there may be manual step to perform which are described in [Migration — Tryton Documentation](https://discuss.tryton.org/c/migration/6)

Well each packages receive bug fix release only when bugs are found and fixed.
The important is to always packages from the same series.

Thank you @ced. To confirm my understanding, do I simply perform:
`% pip install --upgrade trytond trytond-product`
to update to the latest 6.2.x packages in the release notices?
If I understand correctly, once the first 6.3.x release is made, “pip install --upgrade” will upgrade my site from 6.2.x to 6.3.x _code_, but I will need to review [Migration - Tryton Discussion](https://discuss.tryton.org/c/migration/6) for any manual steps needed to update the database.
Do I understand correctly? This will be my first live update. 🙂

Yes except that it will be 6.4.
Also I strongly suggest to always provide the series number with pip operation like `pip install --upgrade "trytond==6.2.*"` to be sure to not upgrade series unexpectedly. Also `pip` is not very good to ensure that all installed packages are always compatible together when upgrading only some of them.
