-====== Installation ======
+======Installation of Addons======
+  - Go to the ADDONS > MANAGE ADDONS admin tool
+  - Scroll down to the uninstalled section of addons
+  - Click the **install** button next to the addon you wish to install.  This runs the installation script for that addon.  This usually includes installation of tables within the database.  Once install script has run the page will refresh.
+  - Check for any settings or configuration that need to be made before the addon goes live.
+  - Now the addon is installed but not enabled on the site.  You now need to find your addon within the middle section of the same admin tool page and click the **enable** button to put the addon in live use.
+===== Installation for Versions Prior to V7=====
 These are the general installation instructions that work for most Geo Auction and Classified Software Addons created/maintained by Geodesic Solutions.  Also be sure to read any instructions specific to the addon you are installing, if such instructions exist.
   - Log in to your [[https://geodesicsolutions.com/geo_store/customers/|Client Area]] on the http://geodesicsolutions.com website.
-  - Each Addon is associated with a Product Order. Therefore, click on the "View" link for the Product associated with the Addon. You should then see the Addon at the bottom of the page available to download.
+  - Click on **My Downloads**, and browse to the download for your addon.
   - Download & un-zip (extract) the Addon package to a location on your PC's hard drive. The unzipped folder should contain additional folder(s) and file(s).
   - Using an FTP client, upload the addon's main folder to the **addons/** directory on your site, located at the //root// of your software install. For example, when you FTP into your site on the server, browse to the location on your server where the rest of the Geodesic software is located and find the **addons/** directory.

+===== Update an Existing Addon =====
+Updating a previously-installed addon is very similar:
+  - Begin by following Steps 1-5 above.
+  - Once on the Manage Addons page, you will see a link next to the updated addon that says something like "Upgrade to z.y.x" where z.y.x is the version number to which you're updating. Click that link.
+  - An information message will be shown if there are any additional instructions to follow for this particular update.
