+## 1) Update your local sources
+
+Move to your AzerothCore sources directory.
+
+- If you have your own fork of AzerothCore, you need to [sync it](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/wiki/Syncing-your-fork).
+
+- Otherwise, if you cloned AzerothCore directly from the main repo, you have to `git pull` to update it.
+
+## 2) Recompile
+
+Compile again your sources, this step is the same as the [Compilation step during Installation](https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/wiki/Installation#3-compiling), but generally you can skip the CMake part.
+
+For example, in Linux/Mac you just have to `cd build;` and run `make -j 4; make install`.
+
+## 3) Update the Database
+
+**If you are updating your production environment, BACKUP your databases BEFORE updating them!**
+
+You need to import the **new** sql update files (located at https://github.com/azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk/tree/master/data/sql/updates) to each database.
+
+To automate this process you can use the db-assembler bash script `bash apps/db_assembler/db_assembler.sh`.

+
+IMPORTANT: remember to properly set your `conf/config.sh` file before using the `db_assembler.sh` script
