Update Using a Computer:
Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Go here: Making Use of a Computer for Updating an iOS Device - User Tip

No.
Use a Computer and Ethernet:
Start with attempting an update through use of a computer. But this time, use Ethernet. Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
Assuming a compatible device, see: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
How to update my phone
What, specifically, are you having trouble with? You know to go to Settings > General > Software Update right?
Do I need wi fi to update my phone
Yes, WiFi is required, or update using a computer. The steps are included in my initial post.
What steps have you taken? And what has happened?
I’m just having problems connecting to wi fi from home, I guess I need to go somewhere where wi fi is available right
I believe you can update from iTunes which would require you to connect your phone to the PC with a cable. I've always wirelessly updated though.
