# Running Upgrade​

Launch the upgrade by pointing your browser to the *upgrade* directory of your site:

```
http://example.com/upgrade/
```

This should show a page like this:

![XOOPS Upgrade Startup](/files/-L_EkPxQgo8Dxa8yFCLk)

Select the "Continue" button to proceed.

Each "Continue" advances through another patch. Keep continuing until all patches are applied, and the System Module Update page is presented.

## Choosing a Language

The main XOOPS distribution comes with English support. Support for additional locales is supplied by [XOOPS Local support sites](https://xoops.org/modules/xoopspartners/). This support can come in the form of a customized distribution, or additional files to add to the main distribution.

XOOPS translations are maintained on [transifex](https://www.transifex.com/xoops/public/)

If your XOOPS Upgrader has additional language support, you can change the language by selecting the language icon in the top menus, and choosing a different language.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://xoops.gitbook.io/xoops-install-upgrade/doc-v2.5.10/upgrading/upgrade/ustep-02.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
