This question was answered by @jtittle:
The most basic way of applying updates would be to use apt-get from the CLI.
apt-get update apt-get upgradeBefore running apt-get upgrade I would recommend backing up core configuration files though, if you’ve made changes (i.e. nginx.conf, php5-fpm.conf, php.ini etc) as there is potential for them to be overwritten.
