sudo -i
cd /var/www
vi piwik/config/config.ini.php
export PIWIK="2.16.2"
wget "https://builds.piwik.org/piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz"
# the above step took 20 mins, no idea why the download was so slow, on another server it took seconds
wget "https://builds.piwik.org/piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz.asc"
gpg --verify piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz.asc
cp piwik/config/config.ini.php .
tar -zxvf piwik-$PIWIK.tar.gz
cp config.ini.php piwik/config/
chown -R piwik:piwik /var/www/piwik/
php /var/www/piwik/console core:update
vi piwik/config/config.ini.php

Note the config.ini.php was updated by Piwik while I was editing it:

diff config.ini.php piwik/config/config.ini.php

< PluginsInstalled[] = "PiwikPro"

The web interface was checked and the ProfessionalServices plugin was deactivated.
