How i do it?

You may need to run the command as sudo if you don't have full write permissions to the wiki install directories under your current user. When untarring a tarball package normally a new directory for the new wiki version will be created and you will have to copy the old configuration files and images directory from your old installation directory:

$ tar xvzf mediawiki-1.23.1.tar.gz -C /path/to/your/new/installation/ --strip-components=1
