# Upgrading

Warning

Before upgrading it's strongly recommended that you backup your DomainMOD installation directory and database. If something goes wrong during the upgrade there may be no way to recover your data, and having a backup of your installation directory and database will allow you to easily restore your previous version.

The Backup & Restore instructions can be found here.

Option #1 -- Docker Install
If you installed DomainMOD using Docker, please see our official DomainMOD container on Docker Hub for upgrade information: https://hub.docker.com/r/domainmod/domainmod

Option #2 -- .zip File Install
If you installed DomainMOD by downloading the .zip file, visit the following URL to download the most up-to-date version: https://domainmod.org/download/

Once the download completes, upload and unpack the new archive overtop of where you installed the previous version (or unpack it and then upload it, whichever you prefer).

Option #3 -- Git Install
If you installed DomainMOD using Git right from your web server, just run the following command from within your installation directory to upgrade:

    git pull

Option #4 -- Softaculous Install
If you installed DomainMOD using Softaculous you're just a few clicks away from upgrading to the newest version. Please see the upgrade instructions on the Softaculous Wiki: https://www.softaculous.com/docs/How_to_upgrade_installations
