# Upgrading the CMC

This page describes how to upgrade the Caplin Management Console (CMC).

## Upgrading the CMC

The instructions for upgrading the CMC differ depending on how the CMC was originally installed.

### CMC installed as a standalone application

To upgrade a CMC installed as a standalone application, follow the instructions below:

1. Extract the new CaplinManagementConsole-_version_.zip file.
2. Copy the contents of the `conf` directory of your old CMC installation to the `conf` directory of your new CMC installation.

### CMC installed under a Deployment Framework

To upgrade a CMC installed under the Caplin Deployment Framework (DFW), follow the instructions below:

1. Delete the contents of the DFW’s `/tools/CMC` directory, except for the `conf` subdirectory and three files: `header.xml`, `footer.xml`, and `template.xml`.
2. Copy the new CMC kit to the DFW’s `kits` directory.
3. From the root directory of your Deployment Framework, run the command below to deploy the new version of the CMC:

   ```
   ./dfw deploy
   ```
