# Updating UTM on macOS

## Installed from Mac App Store

If you installed UTM from the Mac App Store, you can take advantage of automatic updates and update UTM like any other app from the Mac App Store.\
\
The Mac App Store does not support beta versions of UTM.

## Installed from GitHub Releases

Head over to the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/releases) page, select the latest non-beta version, then download the `UTM.dmg` asset. Mount the DMG file by double clicking it and then drag the UTM app into `/Applications`. You may be asked if you want to replace the previous version. If so, replace the previous version and UTM should be updated.

**Your VMs will not be erased or removed**, they are safely stored elsewhere.
