# Stop your QuickBuild server. You do not need to stop agents since they will be auto-upgraded after server is upgraded.
# Extract installation package of new version to a temp directory.
# Open a command line window, and switch to _bin_ sub directory under extracted directory above. Run command _upgrade.(bat|sh) <install directory of current QuickBuild>_ to upgrade QuickBuild in-place.
{note}We now suggest to use upgrade script instead of migration script. The upgrade script will update target directory to new version so that QuickBuild installation directory remains unchanged.{note}
# After the upgrade, start your current QuickBuild instance. Agents will be auto-updated after server startup. It will take a while for them to appear in the build grid.
# Verify server and agent installation by running some builds.
