 1. Back up the <DoNotTranslate>**entire**</DoNotTranslate> [Java agent root directory](/docs/agents/manage-apm-agents/troubleshooting/find-agent-root-directory#java-agent) to another location. Rename that directory to `NewRelic_Agent#.#.#`, where `#.#.#` is the agent version number.
 2. [Download the agent.](/docs/release-notes/agent-release-notes/java-release-notes)
 3. Unzip the new agent download file, then copy `newrelic-api.jar` and `newrelic.jar` into the original [Java agent root directory](/docs/agents/manage-apm-agents/troubleshooting/find-agent-root-directory#java-agent).

(Optional) If you are using the any of the agent APIs like our [Java Agent API](/docs/apm/agents/java-agent/api-guides/guide-using-java-agent-api/) or a [Scala API](/docs/apm/agents/java-agent/frameworks/scala-installation-java/#using-the-scala-api), it is recommended to upgrade your API dependencies as well to the latest version. Your newer version of the agent will still support the APIs but you may be missing new features plus upgrading is relatively easy. If you are using a build tool like maven, upgrade the API versions to latest. For example if you are using the Java Agent API with maven where `{agent.version}` is a placeholder for the upgraded agent version:
-  ```xml
-  <dependency>
-      <groupId>com.newrelic.agent.java</groupId>
-      <artifactId>newrelic-api</artifactId>
-      <version>{agent.version}</version>

 If you experience issues after the Java agent update, restore from the backed-up New Relic agent directory.
