Updating Software
Configure Apache2: The new version of the software may have an updated
Apache2 configuration file. We will need to configure this new file.
Upgrade the database: We will use Koha's web installer to upgrade the
database to the new version.
Rebuild Zebra indexes: The new software version may contain updates to
Zebra configuration files. To have these changes reflected in search results,
we will need to do a full rebuild of Zebra's indexes.
Restart Zebra server: To load new Zebra configurations we will have to
restart
zebrasrv.
Updating the software
Now that we have an understanding of how to update the software, let us go ahead
and execute the update process.

git pull
command. Before we do that let
us check what branch we are on at this time by using the
git branch
