# Upgrading my Pepper

## Automatic upgrade

When a new system image is available for download, the setting_menu_pep displays an alert:

To download and install the new system image:

Step | Action
--- | ---
| Click the Download button. A progression bar appears. Then:
| Check the battery level. Important: make sure the robot battery is fully charged: a power shortage during upgrading could leave the robot in a fatal state. Tips: if your battery has a limited capacity, you should leave the charger plugged during the upgrade. However it could be wise to order a new battery.
| Click the Reboot now button. The boot process can take a long time. For further details, see: Upgrading.

## Nightly download

Note

good to know: to save time, do not turn Pepper off at night.

If Pepper is on and asleep at night between 2 AM and 3 AM, he will automatically download any new system image available.

On his next awake, Pepper will directly propose you to install the new downloaded system image.

For further details, see: Putting Pepper to sleep, Awaking Pepper.
