 If you are upgrading HackMD from an older version, follow these steps:
 
-1. Fully stop your old server first (important).
-2. `git pull` or do whatever that really update the files.
-3. `npm install && bower install` to update dependencies.
-4. Modify the file named `.sequelizerc`, change the value of the variable `url` with your db connection string.  
-   For example: `postgres://username:password@localhost:5432/hackmd`.
-5. Run `node_modules/.bin/sequelize db:migrate`, this step will migrate your db to the latest schema.
