+## Updating your install ##
+
+LibreNMS by default performs updates on a daily basis. This can be disabled by ensuring:
+
+	$config['update'] = 0;
+
+Is no longer commented out. If you would like to perform a manual update then you can do this by running the following commands:
+
+	git pull --no-edit --quiet
+	php includes/sql-schema/update.php
+
+This will update both the core LibreNMS files but also update the database structure if updates are available.
