Overview
This article describes how to update the software repository of a Linux instance by using a script file.
Detail
Alibaba Cloud reminds you that:
- Before you perform operations that may cause risks, such as modifying instance configurations or data, we recommend that you check the disaster recovery and fault tolerance capabilities of the instances to ensure data security.
- You can modify the configurations and data of instances including but not limited to Elastic Compute Service (ECS) and Relational Database Service (RDS) instances. Before the modification, we recommend that you create snapshots or enable RDS log backup.
- If you have authorized or submitted sensitive information such as the logon account and password in the Alibaba Cloud Management Console, we recommend that you modify such information in a timely manner.
The following steps describe how to use a script file to update the software repository.

- Debian 6/7
- OpenSUSE 13.1
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5/6
- Ubuntu 10/12.04/12.10/14.04
- Certain sources (including official sources) may become unavailable because standard system versions are supported periodically.
Procedure
- Log on to the ECS instance and download the following update_source.tgz script from a directory.
- Switch to the root user and run the following commands in sequence:
chmod +x update_source.sh
sh update_source.sh - Confirm that the system has updated the software source.
Application scope
