Use this guide when updating `rcore_drugs` to a newer version.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Make a backup

Back up these folders from your `resources` folder:

* `rcore_drugs_assets`
* `rcore_drugs`

Also back up your database before updating.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Download the latest version

Download the latest `rcore_drugs_assets` and `rcore_drugs` files from [CFX Portal](https://portal.cfx.re/assets/granted-assets).
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Replace resource files

Replace the old resource folders with the new ones.

Keep your custom `config.lua`, `config/locations.lua`, and locale files only after checking them against the new version.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Review configuration changes

Compare your old `config.lua` with the new one. Add any new options that were introduced in the update.

Most labs, stations, dealers, suppliers, harvests, upgrades, actions, and consumables are stored in the database and managed through `/drugs_admin`.
