I’m not really an expert either. I googled “discourse rake task” and got [this discussion](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-run-uploads-migrate-to-new-pattern-rake-task/29083), in which @zogstrip says this is how to run a rake task:

```
# ssh into server
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rake uploads:migrate_to_new_pattern

```

I presume that you would simply change that last line to `rake avatars:refresh`.
