# Update your Validator

## How to Update your node

```
radixnode docker setup  \
     -u \
     -n fullnode \
     -r 1.0-beta.37 \
     -t radix://tn1qgtjz4432e7ghdfsdc6ssu4v63rwxk2g84e4yedadeasfsfaw3995l9gl6l@52.215.119.169
```

The `-u` option specifies that this launch of the node will be an update, causing radixnode to create a backup of the current configuration file and ensure that the node has stopped before applying the changes. 

The `-n` option sets the node type, which can be either fullnode or archivenode. 

The `r` option is optional and specifies the release of the node software you wish to install. If not provided it will use the latest release from <https://github.com/radixdlt/radixdlt/releases>.&#x20;

`-t` is the IP address of a radix node that you can use to join the network.&#x20;

Again, select a seed node closest to where your host is located.

the third `-t` switch is for the seed node that you use to connect to the network. You would normally choose a node closest to your hosting region.
