# KeePass update
54+
EarlyUpdateCheck can also update KeePass itself.
55+
KeePass is shipped in different variants and each of them requires a specific way of updating.
56+
- You can install KeePass using a KeePass-*Version*-Setup.exe - This is the default and linked at https://keepass.info/download.html as *Installer for Windows*
57+
- You can run KeePass using a portable version - This is also linked at https://keepass.info/download.html as *Portable*
58+
- You can install KeePass using a KeePass-*Version*.msi file which is not linked at https://keepass.info/download.html but on Sourceforge only
59+
60+
EarlyUpdateCheck can detect the used installation variant and if it's correct, you only need to confirm and you're ready to go.
61+

62+
63+
When using the portable version, EarlyUpdateCheck will download the new zip package, extract it to a temporary folder and open this folder in explorer.
64+
To finish the update, you need to close KeePass and copy the downloaded files to your current KeePass folder.
65+
66+
For the other two cases, EarlyUpdateCheck will download the required file. You can decide to open the folder containing the downloaded file or you can start the installation immediately.
67+
Don't forget to close KeePass in the latter case.

Anytime, please ensure to have a working backup strategy.

# Translations

My plugins are provided with English language built-in and allow usage of translation files.

These translation files need to be placed in a folder called *Translations* inside your plugin folder.
