# Auto-Upgrader

An Ushahidi plugin to automagically upgrade an Ushahidi install

### Installation

1. Copy the entire `/autoupgrader/` directory into your `/plugins/` directory. *Note:* rename the folder to `autoupgrader` if it's not so css will load.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Make sure your webserver can write to the folder your Ushahidi deployment is installed in. On Ubuntu you can do sudo chmod -R `www-data:` [your_ushahidi_folder]. If the plugin ask for your FTP details, make sure you provide the correct `host` `username` and `password`. Also your FTP user must be able to manipulate your installed Ushahidi files.
4. Refresh your deployment admin dashboard.
5. Click on the **"Click here to upgrade now"** link at the top to upgrade your old install. See ![Click here to upgrade now](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/504300/upgrade_header_prompt.png)
