instructions in https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Installation

** Existing Installations : Upgrade procedure :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you already have a GNU Health system in your health center, you
should upgrade it to 2.4.0

As always, the upgrade path is included in GNU Health. The upgrade for
version 2.4.0 is pretty straight forward :

1) Follow the Upgrade Instructions in the Wikibook
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Upgrade

2) Run the script provided on the directory gnuhealth-2.4.0/scripts/2.4
to update the modules model. Read the README file.


** Official Languages.
--------------------------------------
We have English, French, Italian and Spanish as the official languages.
The language packs of the official languages are included in the GNU
Health package, with all the modules, so there is no need to download.
There are over 80 GNU Health language teams in Transifex. If you are a
language maintainer and want to include your language for the next
stable release, please send us a mail to health@gnusolidario.org .


Enjoy the new version and report any bug / issues / improvements to
