Users need to install XenForo when they want to deploy the self-hosted software on their server for the first time. Those already running XenForo should upgrade the software when they wish to update to a newer version. Before starting either process, everyone should check that their server meets all XenForo requirements.
Anyone looking for more information can find detailed instructions for both installation and upgrading online. Both processes follow similar steps at a basic level. First, users download XenForo and extract the files on their local machine. Next, they upload the contents from the extracted "upload" directory to their server. Finally, they direct their browser to the install or upgrade system and follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
People experiencing difficulties or questions during these processes can submit a support ticket for assistance. XenForo also offers an alternative option where staff members perform installations or upgrades for customers. This service remains available for purchase when buying the software initially or later through the XenForo customer account area after making a software purchase.
XenForo Cloud customers benefit from an automated system that handles installations and upgrades. These users never need to worry about performing manual installations or upgrades themselves, as everything happens automatically within the Cloud platform.
