If you installed your ZelNode with pre-compiled binaries or from source:

From pre-compiled binaries:

Use the APT repository to quickly install updated bins:

1. 
   $ echo 'deb https://zelcash.github.io/aptrepo/ all main' | sudo tee --append /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zelcash.list
$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 4B69CA27A986265D
$ gpg --export 4B69CA27A986265D | sudo apt-key add -
2. 
   $ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install zelcash
3. 
   $ rm -f ~/zelcash/src/zelcashd
$ rm -f ~/zelcash/src/zelcash-cli
4. 
   $ cp /usr/local/bin/zelcash-cli ~/zelcash/src/
$ cp /usr/local/bin/zelcashd ~/zelcash/src/
5. Launch the Zelcash daemon
6. Start your ZelNodes via your Control Wallet

From source (advanced users, most operators should use pre-compiled bins unless you need to build from source):

1. Some users have had issues pulling the changes and making only the changed files. Best practice is to completely build from new source.
   $ rm -rf ~/zelcash
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/zelcash/zelcash.git
$ cd zelcash
$ ./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)
2. Launch the ZelCash daemon
3. Start your ZelNodes via your Control Wallet
