If you are on Oxygen OS official Build

Coming from previous build is always easy and simple. Since OnePlus always pushes incremental update so its easy to wait and install the OTA once it arrives. Still if you can't let wait you have few ways to install. 

Use VPN Software to update

Watch the video for the current Oxygen OS 4.0.3 impressions video and see how you can install using VPN software.

Use TWRP method of update on Rooted Device

This method is also very popular for users who have rooted device. Download the complete flash image of the build and take backup of your previous (current build) and install it. Just copy the flash file on your device memory and reboot to recovery and install there after,
