# Upgrade from Vagrant 1.0.x

The upgrade process from 1.0.x to 1.x is straightforward. Vagrant is quite
[backwards compatible](/vagrant/docs/installation/backwards-compatibility)
with Vagrant 1.0.x, so you can simply reinstall Vagrant
over your previous installation by downloading the latest package and
installing it using standard procedures for your operating system.

As the [backwards compatibility](/vagrant/docs/installation/backwards-compatibility)
page says, **Vagrant 1.0.x plugins will not work with Vagrant 1.1+**. Many
of these plugins have been updated to work with newer versions of Vagrant,
so you will need to verify if they've been updated. If not however, you will have
to remove them before the upgrade.

We recommend that you remove _all_ plugins before the upgrade and then slowly
add them back. This usually makes for a smoother upgrade process.

~> **If your version of Vagrant was installed via Rubygems**, you
must uninstall the old version prior to installing the package for the
new version of Vagrant. The Rubygems installation is no longer supported.
