2. backup configuration files or start scripts you have changed (for example: graphlytic.conf, etc.)

3. unzip Graphlytic installation file "graphlytic-<version>.zip" into your Graphlytic's home directory (for example: c:\graphlytic\) and confirm all overwrites of files from prior installation (for example: graphlytic.war).

4. restore backed up files from step 2.

5. remove old version of Graphlytic's neo4j-gl-plugin in Neo4j "plugin" directory and copy the new one.
