The way you update jenkins depends on how it was installed originally, and how it runs. Was it installed using a package manager (e.g. apt-get?), or did you just download the .war file? Does it run within a container such as Tomcat? If you run Jenkins with java -jar jenkins.war, Jenkins will be able to update itself from the Manage Jenkins page. This is the simplest way to do automatic upgrades. See here<https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Automated+Upgrade>.
There’s quite a lot of information on the wiki<http://jenkins-ci.org/>, and Google (or Bing) is your friend. It’s not difficult, but if you are new to administering Jenkins, you should try and do some reading first. Because you are upgrading from a very old version, there may be some upgrade issues. I know of https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/jenkinsci-advisories/P32IpTQNT5o and there may be others to consider. You could set up a copy of your existing Jenkins to test the upgrade with.
