# Install All Updates Silently

Use this script to install all available updates silently on the Linux machine.

1. Copy and save the contents below to a **UTF-8** editor like **notepad++** OR **Sublime Text** in Windows or **gedit** in Ubuntu.
  1. If you are using **notepad++** then use the bottom right panel to change the type to **Unix (LF)**. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/image-ISG9RWXZ.png)
2. Or click [here](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/Linux_Install%20All%20Updates%20silently.txt) to download the file.

```bash
#!/bin/bash

# upgrade packages silently
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -qq 
sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" upgrade

# check the exit status of the previous command
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "Packages upgraded successfully"
else
  echo "Package upgrade failed"
fi

# Here's a bash script that upgrades packages silently without updating configuration on Ubuntu:

# This script runs apt-get upgrade with the -y flag to assume "yes" to all prompts, and the DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive environment variable to suppress dialogs. The Dpkg::Options options force the use of the existing configuration files during the upgrade process. The script then checks the exit status of the previous command and outputs a message indicating whether the upgrade was successful or not.
```
3. Follow [our guide](/docs/deploy-linux-shell-scripts-using-scalefusion#step-1-upload-and-deploy-the-script) to upload & publish the script using Scalefusion Dashboard.
