+## Install Counterparty Core
+
 The simplest way to get your Counterparty node up and running is to use **Docker Compose**, which may be installed as described [here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/).
 
 *Note: It is required that you use Docker Compose V2, and it is suggested that you install the plugin as opposed to the standalone `docker-compose` executable*.

 - By default, this Docker Compose script makes use of the `bootstrap` functionality, because Docker makes it hard to use `kickstart`. (See below.)
 - When working with a low-memory system, you can tell AddrIndexRs to use JSON-RPC to communicate with Bitcoin Core using the environment variable `ADDRINDEXRS_JSONRPC_IMPORT`: `ADDRINDEXRS_JSONRPC_IMPORT=true docker compose up -d`
 
+## Upgrade Counterparty Core
+
+Download the latest version of `counterparty-core` and restart `counterparty-server`
+
+```bash
+cd counterparty-core
+git pull
+docker compose stop counterparty-core
+docker compose --profile mainnet up -d
+```
+
+NOTE:
+If you were using a custom version of `docker-compose.yml` that uses the `latest` or `develop` tag, it is recommended to delete the old image before restarting the server:
+
+```bash
+docker compose stop counterparty-core
+docker rmi counterparty/counterparty:latest
+docker compose --profile mainnet up -d
+```
