    -IMPORTANT NOTE: These instructions apply to stable releases, such as webtrees-1.0.1. If you testing a beta version, such as webtrees-9876, it is best to do a fresh install, rather than upgrade. -

    NOTE for Macintosh users. Step 3 assumes you are using a copy tool that merges directories rather than replaces them. (Merge is standard behaviour on Windows and Linux.) If you use the Macintosh Finder or other similar tool to perform step 3, it will replace your configuration, media and other directories with the empty/default ones from the installation. This would be very bad (but you did take a backup in step 1, didn't you!). Futher details and recommendations for suitable tools can be found by searching google.com

    If you have any problems or questions, help is available on the webtrees forum.
