🕒 Estimated Reading: 2 Minutes

This guide will help you safely update your existing Laravel-based KiviCare project to the latest version available from CodeCanyon.

🔄 Steps to Update Project Code

If you have already completed the initial installation and later want to update the code for the KiviCare (TM) Pharma Addon, follow the process below:

To update the code, download the latest updated version of the KiviCare (TM) Pharma Addon and replace only the updated files inside your main product folder: “KiviCare(TM) – Clinic Management System for Healthcare with Appointments & EMR (Laravel + Flutter)”

You will follow the same code update steps given below:

1️⃣ Download the Updated Code

• Go to your CodeCanyon account.
• Download the latest version of the KiviCare (TM) Pharma Addon project as a ZIP file.
• Download a file like: kivicare-pharma-addon-v1.1.1.zip

2️⃣ Extract the ZIP File

• Extract the downloaded ZIP file on your computer.
• After extracting, replace the extracted folder inside your KiviCare™ – Clinic Management System for Healthcare with Appointments & EMR (Laravel + Flutter) project.
• This will update all existing KiviCare™ Pharma Addon files with the latest version and ensure your product runs with the newest code.

3️⃣ Upload the Updated Code to Your Server

• Use FTP, cPanel, or SSH to transfer the updated ZIP file to your project directory on the server.

4️⃣ Extract and Replace Code on Server

• Extract the ZIP file directly in the project directory.
• Allow it to overwrite existing files. This will update your code to the latest version.

5️⃣ Run Database Migrations

• Open your terminal or SSH and navigate to your project folder.
• Run this command to apply the new database structure: php artisan migrate

⚠️ Important Notes

• If you are doing a fresh installation, you must follow the full integration process.
• If you have already installed the Pharma Addon once, then whenever we release a new update for the KiviCare (TM) Pharma Addon, you simply need to replace the updated files in the corresponding folders of the main product:

“KiviCare(TM) – Clinic Management System for Healthcare with Appointments & EMR (Laravel + Flutter)”

 ⚠️ No extra installation steps are required after the first setup—just a normal code replacement, as done in any regular update process.

• 🔢 Version Code: Make sure to update the version number where required (e.g., in config or version files).
• 💾 Backup First: Always take a full backup of your code and database before starting the update process.
• 🧪 Test Everything: After updating, thoroughly test your website/app to ensure all features work properly.
