+=== Upgrading
+
+The sections below contain instructions on how to upgrade the software installation from a previous version to stable rasdaman v10.0.
+
+In addition, it is highly recommended to review the list of incompatible changes.
+
+==== From v9.8
+
+To upgrade from the previous stable version v9.8 to stable v10.0:
+
+1. Update the repository metadata with `sudo apt-get update` (Ubuntu) or `sudo yum update` (CentOS 7)
+2. Stop rasdaman with `sudo service rasdaman stop`; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if `ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)'` returns any processes, stop them with `pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'`
+3. Install the new rasdaman version with `sudo apt-get install rasdaman` (Ubuntu) or `sudo yum upgrade rasdaman` (CentOS 7)
+
+==== From testing
+
+To upgrade from the latest testing version to stable v10.0:
+
+1. Change the testing package repository to the stable one in `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rasdaman.list` (Ubuntu) or `/etc/yum.repos.d/rasdaman.repo` (CentOS 7)
+2. Stop rasdaman with `sudo service rasdaman stop`; make sure that the processes are really stopped: if `ps aux | grep -E 'ras(mgr|server)'` returns any processes, stop them with `pkill -9 -f 'ras(mgr|server)'`
+3. Remove the current rasdaman package with `sudo apt-get remove rasdaman` (Ubuntu) or `sudo yum erase rasdaman` (CentOS 7); this is required because the stable package has the same version but a lower iteration number than the testing one
+4. Install the new rasdaman version with `sudo apt-get install rasdaman` (Ubuntu) or `sudo yum upgrade rasdaman` (CentOS 7)
