+# Updating an AMI installation
+
+<p class="lead">Let's say you set up an EC2 instance from our AMI when FixMyStreet was on
+version 2.0, and you now want to upgrade to version 2.1. This page should
+help.</p>
+
+(If you forked the code on GitHub and cloned it yourself, you probably want to see our
+main [update help](/updating/).)
+
+Firstly, log in to your EC2 instance as the `ubuntu` user, as you did when
+setting up the instance. You should become the fms user and switch to the right
+directory:
+
+    ubuntu@ip-10-58-191-98:~$ sudo su - fms
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~$ cd fixmystreet
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~/fixmystreet$
+
+To fetch new upstream code, but not yet use it, use:
+
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~/fixmystreet$ git fetch origin
+
+Then merging the new version of the upstream code into your version will bring
+your code up-to-date.  You can do that with:
+
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~/fixmystreet$ git merge v2.1
+
+If you have made alterations to your local repository, then you will need to
+make sure they are all committed to your local branch and fork first, see
+[setting up a fork](/feeding-back/) for more information. You may want
+to try checking out your repository elsewhere and trying the merge there first,
+to see if it there are any problems.
+
+After updating the code, you should run the following command to update any
+needed dependencies and any schema changes to your database. It's a good idea
+to take a backup of your database first.
+
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~/fixmystreet$ script/update
+
+If you have made changes to the schema yourself, this may not work,
+please feel free to [contact us](/community/) to discuss it first.
+
+Lastly, you should restart the Catalyst FastCGI server with:
+
+    fms@ip-10-58-191-98:~/fixmystreet$ logout
+    ubuntu@ip-10-58-191-98:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/fixmystreet restart
+
