To upgrade an existing installation, the basic principle is to copy the new files over the top of the existing files.

The upgrade procedure for BrowserCRM Server is very simple.

1. Always Backup BrowserCRM Server
2. Download the latest version from http://www.browsercrm.com/download
3. Unzip or FTP the files over the top of your previous installation.
4. Point your browser to your usual start page to activate the setup script and follow the simple prompts.

  This will not overwrite your custom files including:
  * /data directory
  * config.inc.php file.
  * /modules_custom
  * /modules_extension

Always Backup BrowserCRM Server before upgrading.

Here are some example commands:

#assuming your installation is at /www/browsercrm

Use wget, SCP or FTP etc to download the BrowserCRM package to your server. For example, change to the www directory, wget the package:

cd /www
wget http://browsercrm.com/download/browsercrm-5.100.01.tar.gz

untar using the command, which will unzip files to the directory ./browsercrm relative to your current working directory:

tar -zxf browsercrm-5.100.01.tar.gz

Alternatively, you can untar/unzip to another directory such as /downloads/browsercrm and then copy the files over your previous installation with

cd /dowloads
wget http://browsercrm.com/download/browsercrm-5.100.01.tar.gz
tar -zxf browsercrm-5.100.01.tar.gz
cp /downloads/browsercrm/* /www/browsercrm -fR
