    2. Unzip the files from the package.
    3. Replace your flexmonster/ folder with the new one (you can find it in the component/ directory or in the client/ directory – depending on the type of package that you downloaded).
  • Update via npm package manager:
    Run this command to update the Flexmonster node module:
    npm update flexmonster --save
