When an upgrade package is automatically downloaded for {% data variables.product.product_location %}, you'll receive a message letting you know you can upgrade {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}. Packages download to the /var/lib/ghe-updates directory on {% data variables.product.product_location %}. For more information, see "[Upgrading {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %}](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/admin/guides/installation/upgrading-github-enterprise-server)."
If a hotpatch is available for an upgrade, the .hpkg will download automatically. In the management console you can choose to install the hotpatch immediately or schedule installation for a later time. For more information, see "[Upgrading with a hotpatch](/enterprise/{{ currentVersion }}/admin/guides/installation/upgrading-github-enterprise-server#upgrading-with-a-hotpatch)."
