160+## Updating to the latest binary
161+
162+Most updates to Urbit are downloaded and applied automatically as OTA (Over the
163+Air) updates. Occasionally it would be infeasible to distribute an update this
164+way, and a new `urbit` binary is released. This is announced in the `urbit-dev`
165+Google Group when it occurs (as are all OTA updates). To update to the latest binary, follow
166+the same process outlined [above](#urbit) to download and extract it into a new folder
167+(the binary linked on this page will always be the latest),
168+then move your ship's **pier** (the folder with your ship's name) from the
169+folder containing the old `urbit` binary to the folder containing the new one.
170+Then delete the folder containing the old binary.
