It is important to keep your Joomla CMS updated and the tool I use is Joomla Update manager
Updating your Joomla web site is made easy by Joomla update manager. I will talk through a step by step guide as to using the Update manager and also some possible errors.

The error reads Joomla Update Manager step 3
