Update

• To update and get the latest versions, you can run ./uninstall.sh without deleting the volumes and run ./setup.sh again. It will prompt you if you want to delete the volumes.

• You can add modules to the setup.sh file by scrolling to the "install_mod" section and add the entries you'd like. Or you could do it manually by putting the modules folders into the azerothcore-wotlk/modules folder. setup.sh will automatically add the sql. See

• Running setup.sh will not install anything over again unless you delete a modules folder or the azerothcore-wotlk folder before. You can run it if you only want to install new modules youve added, it will skip if you already downloaded the repos.

• If you delete modules, remember to run clear_custom_sql.sh first and remove the respective tables in the db.
