 If you aren’t yet comfortable with using the Update Manager to update your site, you’re still ok!  There are more easy options to update your site.  The second method to update your Joomla! 1.6.5/1.6.6 site to 1.7.0 is to use the extension installer, just as if you were installing a component, module, plugin, or template in your site. '''This method is specially handy for users updating localized distributions made available by Language Communities.'''
 To update your site using this method, first, download the update package from JoomlaCode (or your language Community Site).  The 1.6.5/1.6.6 > 1.7.0 package can be found [http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs/?action=FrsReleaseBrowse&frs_package_id=5986 here].
 After you download the update package, access your Joomla! installer by logging in to your administrator control panel, and navigating to the '''Extensions''' > '''Extension Manager''' option in your administrator menu.  From here you can select the file you just downloaded, and install it.  The Joomla! installer will upload the package, and install it, making any changes to files AND the database as needed.

+= Manual Update - Uploading =
 The last method available to update your site, involves a little more technical expertise, and should probably only be used if the previous methods won’t work due to a highly complex site or hosting issues (shared hosting for example). ''' As usual back-up your site and your database.''' For most Joomla! sites, the first two methods will successfully update your site.  However, updating is still fairly easily, and should not be a problem.

 Once you've done this go to your site's phpmyadmin (or any way you usually manage your database) and open the database your site uses. There will be a tab called SQL, open this. Paste the content of your modified <tt>joomla_update_17ga.sql</tt> inside the text area and press go.
