+Package Upgrades
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+If you installed MongoDB from the MongoDB ``apt`` or ``yum`` repositories,
+upgrade to 2.6 using the package manager.
+
+For Debian, Ubuntu, and related operating systems, type these commands:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+   sudo apt-get update
+   sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
+
+For Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, Fedora, or Amazon Linux:
+
+.. code-block:: javascript
+
+   sudo yum install mongodb-org 
+
+If you did not install the ``mongodb-org`` package, and installed a subset
+of MongoDB components replace ``mongodb-org`` in the commands above with
+the appropriate package names.
