Upgrade from nuke 7.5 to RavenNuke 7.6

I just need to know before going to RavenNuke. My varsity basketball site is currently running on nuke 7.5, do I overwrite the files with the new ones and upgrade 7.5 to 7.6 file in the upgrade folder? or do I have to do a clean install? Thanks in advanced for your help.

This question has already been answered in this very forum.
If you have no modifications to your site in terms of additional modules, code hackes etc then you would be better wiping the files on the webserver and simply uploading the new package.
If you already have extra modules etc installed you can either do as stated above and then re-install them or you would need to use a file comparison utility to check the differences.

Personally I prefer to wipe and re-install my mods as it forces me into 'house cleaning mode' by not re-adding stuff that I thought was a good idea at the time but never got used and making sure I have the latest versions.

Re-instating DB data is slightly more involved depending on if you have modules added in the have altered the core nuke DB tables - plenty of advice on that can be found in this forum.
