Setting up an update server
Joomla! has a built-in update software that allows you to easily update your core Joomla! version, often referred to as one-click updates (even though it usually take a few clicks to launch it). This update mechanism is also available to third-party Joomla! extensions; however, it involves you setting up an update server.
You can try this out on your local development environment. To do so, you will need two Joomla! sites: http://localhost/joomla3, which will be our update server, and http://localhost/joomlatest, which will be our site that we are going to try to update the extensions on. Note that the update server does not need to be a Joomla! site; it could be any folder on a web server.
