+# Updating Artemis
+
+The standard Apache ActiveMQ is runnable out of the box. Just download it, 
+go into the unzipped ActiveMQ folder and run this command: ./bin/activemq run. 
+The ActiveMQ Artemis sub project needs an additional step to run the Message Queue.
+Before running activemq run you have to create a new message broker instance. 
+It looks like an overhead at first glance, but becomes very practically 
+when updating to a new Artemis version for example. 
+To create a artemis broker cd into the artemis folder and run: `./bin/artemis create $HOME/mybroker` on the command line.
+
+> **Note**
+>
+> We recommend choosing a folder different than the downloaded apache-artemis one to separate both from each other.
+> This separation allowes you run multiple brokers with the same artemis runtime for example. 
+> It also simplifies updating to newer versions of Artemis.
+
+Because of this separation it's very easy to update Artemis. 
+You just need to cd into the `etc` folder of your created message broker and open the `artemis.profile` file.
+It contains a property which is relevant for the update procedure:
+ 
+    ARTEMIS_HOME='/Users/.../apache-artemis-X.X.X'
+    
+The `ARTEMIS_HOME` property is used to link the broker together with the Artemis runtime. 
+In case you want to update your broker you can simply download the new version of ActiveMQ Artemis and change the `ARTEMIS_HOME` to the formerly downloaded, newer version.
+That's all. There's no need to touch your broker, copy configuration files or stuff like that.
