Hi!
It depends on how you installed it the first time.

I assume you used git. If you did not modify your code a simple git pull should be sufficient. Then you can recompile the code.

If git pull doesn't work, you can always just download the liggghts source code from their github page, move the new source code files into your liggghts "src" folder, type "make clean-all" and then run your make file all over again. I typically use "make fedora_fpic". And if you made any modifications, you'll probably need to redo them based on some updates in version 3.7.
