 System-Upgrade Command
#######################

Synopsis
========

``dnf5 system-upgrade <subcommand> [options]``


Description
===========

The ``system-upgrade`` command is used to upgrade the system to a new major release. First, the ``download`` subcommand downloads packages while the system is running normally. Then, the ``reboot`` subcommand reboots the system into a minimal "offline" environment to apply the upgrades.

``dnf5 system-upgrade`` is a recommended way to upgrade a system to a new major release. Before you proceed, ensure that your system is fully upgraded (``dnf5 --refresh upgrade``).

``system-upgrade`` shares many subcommands with the :ref:`offline subcommand <offline_command_ref-label>`.


Subcommands
===========

``clean``
    | See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`

``download``
    | Downloads all packages needed to upgrade to a new major release and checks that they can be installed.

``log``
    | See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`

``reboot``
    | See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`


Options
=======

``--releasever=<version>``
    | Required. The version to upgrade to. Sets ``$releasever`` in all enabled repos. Usually a number, or ``rawhide``.

``--no-downgrade``
    | Behave like ``dnf5 update``: do not install packages from the new release if they are older than what is currently installed. This is the opposite of the default behavior, which behaves like ``dnf5 distro-sync``, always installing packages from the new release, even if they are older than the currently-installed version.

``--allowerasing``
    | Allow removing of installed packages to resolve any potential dependency problems.

``--number=<boot number>``
    | See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`

``--poweroff``
    | See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`


Environment
===========

See :manpage:`dnf5-offline(8)`, :ref:`Offline command <offline_command_ref-label>`.


Examples
========

Typical upgrade usage
---------------------

``dnf5 --refresh upgrade``
