You'll need to be very careful. First, current versions of Koha won't run on Ubuntu 14.04, so you need to upgrade Ubuntu first. Next, its a big upgrade, through 7 or 8 major release versions of Koha, so there is inherent risk. Before you do anything, take a backup. The recommended way to install Koha is from Debian packages. See the Koha wiki for info - there's a page for Ubuntu. That was not the case back at 3.12 iirc, so that's another change you are navigating. You need to find a way of creating your new installation without destroying your old one. Otherwise you could get stuck not being able to go forward and not being able to go back. Can you use a different device? If so, install Ubuntu, then install Koha 16.11 or 17.05 from Debian packages, then install your saved Koha 3.12 database. Log in to the staff client and you'll get the web installer, which will attempt to upgrade your database to the current version. The alternative is to do a conversion. Export the data you need from Koha 3.12 and import it into a new Koha 16.11 or 17.05. Good luck. Its much easier to keep your Koha version up to date. Bob Birchall Calyx
