+## Manual installation
-## Updating Northstar
+If you prefer to avoid any additional installers and know what you're doing, check out the guide for manual installation:
-To update, simply follow the same process you used to install Northstar using the newest zipped release of Northstar. When copying the new files make sure to select "_Overwrite_".\
-Note that if you modified some files like `ns_startup_args.txt`, these will also be overwritten. If you want to keep the changes you made make sure to make a copy of these files beforehand and change them back after applying the update.
