+## Upgrade instructions from 0.2.0
+
+1. Stop the service from running. If you're using a pre-installed image through a hosting provider, or setup Owncast to run under systemd you can probably just simply run `systemctl stop owncast`.
+1. Change to the directory where Owncast is installed on your server.
+1. If you’ve customized your web interface in any way you will want to back up the files you’ve changed or customized.
+1. Re-run the installer as the user you run Owncast under. For example if you are running owncast as the user "owncast": `su -c "curl https://owncast.online/install.sh |bash" owncast`
+1. Restart the service. If you're running under systemd `systemctl start owncast`.
