You need about 8 GB device storage and good Service and/or Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.

See the following Apple articles:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If your iPhone or iPad won't update

You can do the update via PC, see this Apple article: Update software on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch in iTunes on PC

If you have a Mac see this Apple article: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the Finder
