Update
 
Update is to bring an ownCloud instance to its latest point release, e.g. ownCloud 4.0.6 → 4.0.7. To update an ownCloud installation manually, follow those steps:
 
• Do a backup.
• Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory, i.e. copy all new files into the ownCloud installation.
• Make sure that the file permissions are correct.
• With the next page request the update procedures will run.
 
If you installed ownCloud from a repository, your package management should take care of it.
 
Upgrade
 
Upgrade is to bring an ownCloud instance to a new major release, e.g. ownCloud 4.0.7 → 4.5.0. Always do backups anyway.To upgrade ownCloud, follow those steps:
 
• Make sure that you ran the latest point release of the major ownCloud version, e.g. 4.0.7 in the 4.0 series. If not, update to that version first (see above).
• Do a backup.
• Deactivate all third party applications.
• Delete everything from your ownCloud installation directory, except data and config.
• Unpack the release tarball in the owncloud directory (or copy the files thereto).
• Make sure that the file permissions are correct.
• With the next page request the update procedures will run.
• If you had 3rd party applications, check if they provide versions compatible with the new release. If so, install and enable them, update procedures will run if needed.
 
If you installed ownCloud from a repository, your package management should take care of it. Probably you will need to look for compatible third party applications yourself. Always do backups anyway.
