I see blog [https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-stack-release-5-0-0-beta1](https://www.elastic.co/blog/elastic-stack-release-5-0-0-beta1) and try upgrade ES by command

`Yum update elasticsearch`

but nothing update. Kibana and LS is same result.  
So how can update that from repo ?

I must remove ES alpha5 and install beta1 (using RPM package) . Right ?

Hi @tatdat,

how did you install Elasticsearch 5.0.0-alpha5? Did you download the file or did you configure a dedicated repository?

I assume you did not setup a dedicated repository (see the [reference docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.0/rpm.html) on how to do that) so you need to download the RPM distribution of Elasticsearch 5.0.0-beta1 and update it with

```auto
yum update elasticsearch-5.0.0-beta1.prm

```

and similarly for the other packages (Kibana / Logstash).

Daniel
