# ✨ Updating the bot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Before updating the bot, always take a backup of your `db/data.sqlite` file.**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To update the bot, follow these steps:
|
||
|
|
1. Shut down the bot
|
||
|
|
2. Take a backup of your `db/data.sqlite` file
|
||
|
|
* If you're using a different supported database, take database backups from there
|
||
|
|
3. Download the latest version of the bot from https://github.com/Dragory/modmailbot/releases/latest
|
||
|
|
4. Extract the new version's files over the old files
|
||
|
|
5. Read the [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/Dragory/modmailbot/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md) to see if there are any config changes you have to make
|
||
|
|
* Especially note changes to supported Node.js versions!
|
||
|
|
6. Start the bot:
|
||
|
|
* If you're using `start.bat` to run the bot, just run it again
|
||
|
|
* If you're running the bot via command line, first run `npm ci` and then start the bot again
|
