I have Jenkins installed on a server with Debian 8. I would like to know the correct procedure for updating the version. In the current documentation, you do not specify the update procedure. In a survey on StackOverFlow in English, I only found old answers (2012, 13, 14), where I even had official documentation on how to do it (but the current version goes to the installation documentation).
I believe it would work by command:
sudo apt-get upgrade jenkins
But I'm not sure if it's the best way or the right one.
If anyone knows if this is a correct procedure or if there are others, thank you!

wget http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/latest/jenkins.war
cp jenkins.war /usr/lib/jenkins
systemsctl stop jenkins
systemsctl start jenkins
It's a simple process, just change the .war to the newer version. If jenkins is not installed as a service, just go to the browser and put /restart at the end of jenkins's base URL

Another way, besides this one of the answer I accepted is to follow the path of how to install again, described in link (specific to debian / ubuntu).
First add this key to the system:
wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -
Then go to /etc/apt/sources.list with your text editor (I use vim or nano) with sudo and add the following line to the file:
deb https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/
And finally, the commands for installation:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins
So I was able to update without any problems. Hope it helps!
