> To back up Scriptcase:

Below, we will see how to manually update Scriptcase:

1. Download Scriptcase in `.ZIP` format from [our official website.](http://scriptcase.net/download)
2. Now, we need to extract the downloaded .zip file and copy its contents to the current Scriptcase directory. To do this, access the Linux terminal and **run the following commands in order:**

   **1. **sudo su**
   2. **unzip scriptcase-10.0.000.zip**
   3. **cp -R scriptcase**-10.0.000**/\* /opt/NetMake/v9-php81/wwwroot/scriptcase**
   4. **chmod 777 -R scriptcase/****

> **For those who performed step 2 using the MacOS graphical interface, click** ****"Merge"******.**
>
> ⚠️ **Note:** Never click "Replace", as this action will delete your entire Scriptcase and your projects.

 3. To confirm the update, after transferring the files, access your Scriptcase and go to **Help > Check for updates**.
