Edit the {{Path|/etc/apk/repositories}} file using an editor ({{Pkg|nano}} for instance) and if necessary, add references to the Alpine package repositories. In the example below, the reference to the Alpine CD is maintained, so that if the requested package is available on the local media, it will be obtained from there instead of being downloaded from the remote repository:

{{Cat|/etc/apk/repositories|http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.20/main
{{Cat|/etc/apk/repositories|/media/cdrom/apks

{{Cat|/etc/apk/repositories|http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/main
Only one repository is shown above; however, you may also replace <code><nowiki>http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/</nowiki></code> with any of the mirrors below (if you wish to use another version, also replace <code>v2.6</code> with the desired version); for example, if upgrading from version 2.6 to 2.7 simply change <code><nowiki>http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.6/main</nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki> http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v2.7/main</nowiki></code>:
http://dl-3.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.21/community}}

After updating the repositories file, obtain the latest index of available packages:
{{Cmd|apk update}}
 
{{Tip|Adding the <code>-U</code>/<code>--update-cache</code> to another apk command, as in <code>apk add -U ...</code> or <code>apk upgrade -U</code>, has the same effect as running <code>apk update</code> before the other apk command.}}
