 After that install the file with prefix com_virtuemart_ext_aio to install all free plugins and modules in one row. 

 h1. Update of VirtueMart 2 with provided packages 

 The procedure to update VirtueMart 2 is the same as for the installation. 
 The update procedure will update all the files, and the tables if needed. 
 You should always update BOTH components: com_virtuemart.2.x.y.zip and com_virtuemart.2.x.y_ext_aio.zip 

 You can also use the built in Akeeba Release System which is included in both components. In this case, you must also update BOTH components.
