[Koha] How to update

[King, Fred]

And if you can, make a copy and practice on that before you touch your production system. If you can't, be sure to have backups.

Hi Alex,
Koha does not have an update option from within the program itself, you need to update from Debian itself.
You would need at least some familiarity with Debian for this to be a relatively painless operation.
Updating from 3.14 to the latest version (17.11) is a fairly major jump. 
There have been some major changes since then.
These instructions (although written for Ubuntu) give the general process required.

If you are daunted by them then best to seek some expert advice.

Hope that helps,
Clint.
