Log out of Jethro
Take a backup of your mysql database
Apply all applicable upgrade SQL files from the upgrades folder to your mysql database, including upgrades/2024-upgrade-to-2.36.sql
Move away your old Jethro files (eg. rename your jethro folder to jethro_old)
Unzip the new files into the right place (don't just overwrite the old files)
Move your old conf.php and files/ subdirectory (if not empty) back into your jethro folder.
Optional: Run php upgrades/2024-upgrade-to-2.36-after.php from the command line. Jethro will run this upgrade automatically when you log in, but you may prefer to do it from the command line in advance.
Optional: Run php upgrades/upgradefixes/2024-2.36-check-age-brackets.php from the command line. This script checks for person records affected by Issue #1086. Jethro will run this check when a system administrator logs into the system, but you may prefer to do it from the command line in advance.
Log in and test.
