 # Upgrading
 
-As with the initial installation, you can upgrade NetBox by either downloading the latest release package or by cloning the `master` branch of the git repository. Once the new code is in place, run the upgrade script (which may need to be run as root depending on how your environment is configured).
+## Installation of Upgrade
+
+As with the initial installation, you can upgrade NetBox by either downloading the latest release package or by cloning the `master` branch of the git repository. 
+
+### Option A: Download a Release
+
+Download the [latest stable release](https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox/releases) from GitHub as a tarball or ZIP archive. Extract it to your desired path. In this example, we'll use `/opt/netbox`.  For this guide we are using 1.0.4 as the old version and 1.0.7 as the new version.
+
+Download & extract latest version:
+```
+# wget https://github.com/digitalocean/netbox/archive/vX.Y.Z.tar.gz
+# tar -xzf vX.Y.Z.tar.gz -C /opt
+# cd /opt/
+# ln -sf netbox-1.0.7/ netbox
+```
+
+Copy the 'configuration.py' you created when first installing to the new version:
+```
+# cp /opt/netbox-1.0.4/configuration.py /opt/netbox/configuration.py
+```
+
+### Option B: Clone the Git Repository (latest master release)
+
+For this guide, we'll use `/opt/netbox`.
+
+Check that your git branch is up to date & is set to master:
+```
+# cd /opt/netbox
+# git status
+```
+
+If not on branch master, set it and verify status:
+```
+# git checkout master
+# git status
+```
+
+Pull down the set branch from git status above:
+```
+# git pull
+```
+
+
+## Upgrade Script & Netbox Restart
+
+Once the new code is in place, run the upgrade script (which may need to be run as root depending on how your environment is configured).
 
 ```
