First the install and upgrade instructions should be the same as standard Cerberus Version 4 with the following exceptions.

Standard Cerberus 4 install instructions
Under install you need to get the files from another source. So under section Acquiring the Files

Instead of getting files from Cerberus you need to get them from cerb5blog.com. I make this as easy as possible. There are 2 ways to get them from cerb5blog.com.

1) Using Git
2) Using a downloadable zip latest version from the Project Page

Using Git.

Pro's for using Git to obtaining the project files. Since it allows for painless software updates and the preservation of any custom modifications you make.

Con's for using Git it is more complex. If you don't know how to use it you can run into problems. Not available on most share hosts.

Git is usually available from the package manager for major Linux distributions. For Windows Servers the best option is TortoiseGit.

Ok you are done downloading the code.

Continue on and finish the installs.

Thanks

By Downloading a ZIP File.

A .zip file is provided for situations where Git isn't available.

Pro's simple and easy to use for installation.

Con's if you make changes to the code it makes it much hard to upgrade as you will have to reapply those changes each time you upgrade. Current Zip files can be downloaded from the project pages Cerberus 4 Project Page. Once you download the latest version you can follow the instructions on the website.

Thanks
Robert
