In this post how to install or update Oracle Autoupgrade Linux, step by step.
If you are using Oracle (19.3) or higher, the autoupgrade.jar file exists by default. However, before running Autoupgrade , it is advisable Autoupgrade whether you are running the latest version and, if not, to update it. It should be noted that updates to this tool are different from the quarterly patches for other Oracle tools.
To do this, we need to check the following note in Oracle : My Oracle AutoUpgrade (Doc ID 2485457.1)

2- We update the current version.
In our case, we are using version 19.3, so the Autoupgrade version Autoupgrade installed, but not the latest version. As of today, the current version is (25.6). We will therefore proceed to update it.

oracle admin]$ mv autoupgrade.jar autoupgrade.jar_back
oracle Downloads]$ ls -la *.jar

[oracle Downloads]$ mvAutoupgrade .6 build version 25.6.251016.jar'autoupgrade.jar
We verify that it has been installed correctly.
oracle admin]$ java -jar autoupgrade.jar -version
