The FedUp utility tool by Fedora Project is a wonderful application for upgrading the old Fedora Distro to the newly released version of Fedora Desktop.
Let us see how to upgrade from Fedora 21 to Fedora 22. Before we begin, make sure that all the latest updates are installed and a recent backup of the system/important files are made.
To make sure that Fedora operating system is up to date, open the Terminal and run the following command:
sudo dnf update
Enter the password and hot the Enter key to start the update process. Wait for few seconds to complete the update process.
Now it’s time to install the FedUp utility. Run the following command to install FedUp tool on Fedora System:
sudo dnf install fedup
Once the FedUp is installed, the upgrade process can be started (from Fedora 21 to Fedora 22). Below is the Terminal command to upgrade Fedora 21 to Fedora 22 using ‘FedUp’ Tool. Remember to enter password if asked.
sudo fedup --network 22
Once you initiate the above command, the FedUp tool will begin downloading all the necessary update-packages from the Fedora 22 repositories. During the upgrade process, you will be asked to reboot the system. When you see a new entry called “System Upgrade” (at the boot prompt), select it and press the Enter key.
The upgrade process will take some time and at the end of the upgrade process, please restart the system. That’s it, the newly released Fedora 22 has been successfully installed and upgraded on the system. To verify the Fedora release version, run the following command:
cat /etc/os-release
