# Examples
* Upgrade all packages that were installed using a mutable flake
reference:
```console
# nix profile upgrade '.*'
```
* Upgrade a specific package:
```console
# nix profile upgrade packages.x86_64-linux.hello
```
* Upgrade a specific profile element by number:
```console
# nix profile list
0 flake:nixpkgs#legacyPackages.x86_64-linux.spotify …
# nix profile upgrade 0
```
# Description
This command upgrades a previously installed package in a Nix profile,
by fetching and evaluating the latest version of the flake from which
the package was installed.
> **Warning**
>
> This only works if you used a *mutable* flake reference at
> installation time, e.g. `nixpkgs#hello`. It does not work if you
> used an *immutable* flake reference
> (e.g. `github:NixOS/nixpkgs/13d0c311e3ae923a00f734b43fd1d35b47d8943a#hello`),
> since in that case the "latest version" is always the same.
