+
+<!--more-->
+
+As a prerequisite to using this guide, make sure that you have running Ghost service by following the original [installation guide](https://ghost.org/docs/install/). And before continuing upgrade process to a new [major version](https://ghost.org/docs/faq/major-versions-lts) you need to take care of any [breaking changes](https://ghost.org/docs/changes/).
+
+## Upgrade Step
+Whenever doing a manual update **always to take a full backup** of your site first. If anything goes wrong, you'll still have all your data.
+
+### Export Your Theme
+It’s a good idea to check whenever your current theme is compatible with Ghost `4.x`. Depending on your current version of Ghost, **you might need to make some changes** to your theme.
+
+To see what changes are need to be made, download a copy of your theme zip file, and upload it to [GScan](https://gscan.ghost.org/) automatic theme compatibility testing tool.
+
+GScan will provide a report on any new features in the Ghost theme API which are not being used, or any old ones you might be using which have been deprecated - so you can get everything fixed up.
+
+### Export Content and Members
+Start by exporting a JSON file of all your posts from the **labs area** of Ghost Admin.
+
+Then, make a copy of entire `/content` directory as a backup for themes and images:
+```bash
+mkdir /backup
+cp -rv content /backup/content
+```
+Members can be exported to a CSV file from the **Members page** of Ghost Admin.
+
+### Upgrade Ghost-CLI
+When you're ready, **as your Ghost admin user**, upgrade `Ghost-CLI` using `npm -g` command :
+```bash
+sudo npm install -g ghost-cli@latest
+```
+
+### Update to the latest minor version
+Now, after you upgrade `Ghost-CLI` to the lastest version, you need to update every site to the latest minor version before upgrading to major version.
+
+**Make sure you’re in your site’s root directory** and then run the Ghost update command using Ghost-CLI **as your ghost admin user**.
+
+For example, if you're on version `3.x` :
+
+```bash
+ghost update v3
+```
+> _**TIPS**: You do not need to upgrade through every major version. For example if you’re on `2.33.0`, you only need to upgrade to `2.38.3` (the latest `2.x` version) first, and then to `4.x`._
+
+>> _**INFO**: the `ghost update` command will inform you of the commands to run to perform the necessary intermediate updates._
+
+### Upgrade to the latest major version
+After updating your site(s) to latest minor version, you're ready to upgrade to latest major version. Simply run `ghost upgrade` from your site’s root directory **as Ghost admin user**.
