# Upgrade Java SDK

Catalyst constantly endeavours to provide you with the latest, most relevant, and secure SDK packages to ensure you code your applications with as much ease as possible. 

This means that from time to time, Catalyst will upgrade its SDK packages to provide you with the best coding support. We strongly urge you to keep track of the latest developments in Catalyst SDKs from our [Release Notes section](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/release-notes/sdk/) and upgrade your SDK packages to the latest versions. We will also be posting our *bug fixes*, should any arise, in our **Release Notes**.

> **Note:**  If an immediate upgrade is required due to deprecation reasons, we will ensure you are notified on time via email to perform the necessary upgrades. Generally, it is highly recommended that you always upgrade your SDK to the latest version.

### Steps to Upgrade Your SDK

There are two methods you can use to upgrade your Java SDK:

* Installing the latest version from the *static download URL* available in the console.

* Updating your **Maven configurations**, if you use [Maven for Java](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/tools/maven-tools/introduction/) development

**Download the SDK from the console**

#### Install using the static download URL available in the console

1. Go to the [Catalyst console](http://console.catalyst.zoho.com) and login to your account.
2. Open any of your Catalyst projects, and click on your **profile icon**.

3. Click on the **Java icon** under the *Download SDKs* list to download the latest version of the SDK.

4. Click **Save** in the local system prompt, and the latest version of the SDK will be stored in your local system as a ZIP file.

Now, to use the latest SDK in a Java function, unzip the contents and paste them in the `lib` folder of your java function. The `lib` folder will be present in the source directory of your Java function.

> **Note:** 

* You need to paste the SDK content in the `lib` folder of every Java function you have created and initialized in your project.

* You can find the latest version of the Java SDK from our [release notes](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/release-notes/sdk/).

**Update through Maven**

#### Update SDK Through Maven

To update Java SDK through [Maven](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/tools/maven-tools/introduction/), you will be need to make the following changes to your [`pom.xml`](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/tools/maven-tools/pom-xml/) file present in your project directory.

```xml

<dependency>
 <groupId>com.zoho.catalyst</groupId>
 <artifactId>java-sdk</artifactId>
 <version>1.15.0</version> // replace with your required version here
<dependency>

```

The latest version of the Java SDK will be available to you and it will be incorporated in your Java functions in the project once you **save your edit**.

> **Note:**

* You need to apply the same changes in every `pom.xml` file of every Java function present in your project, to ensure the SDK offerings are available throughout your project.

* You can find the latest version of the Java SDK from our [release notes](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/release-notes/sdk/).
