Periodically, we will issue updates to the JEM software to address bugs and add new features.  It is critical for those that are already using JEM to update to the most recent version, in order to fix issues and use the new features.

To update JEM, follow these steps:

1. Download the new JEM files from your JEM account area.  the account area is here:
   
   https://www.jrox.com/login/
   
   
2. Backup all of your JEM files, including /system/application/config/config.php and /system/application/config/database.php
3. If you have made changes to standard themes and did not create a new theme, please backup those files.
4. If you have made changes to the language file, please make note of those additions, and add it to the new language file manually, as we may have new additions to the language file as well.
5. Upload the new JEM files in BINARY FORMAT, except for /system/application/config/config.php and /system/application/config/database.php
6. Once you have uploaded all the new files and updates, go to Settings > Global Configuration > System > System Settings.
7. Near the bottom, click on the Run Updates button.  This will run the database schema updates, if any.
8. Once the database update is finished, delete the jem_updates.php file from /import/updates/ folder
9. Your copy of JEM will now be updated.
