+
+
+### Stop, Update and restart KMD and all assetchains
+
+```bash
+komodo-cli stop # repeat for KMD 3P and all assetchains
+cd ~/komodo
+git pull
+git checkout e0f463a 
+./zcutil/build.sh -j$(expr $(nproc) - 1)
+source ~/dPoW/pubkey.txt
+komodod -pubkey=${pubkey} # repeat for KMD 3P and all assetchains
+```
+
+#### If using docker:
+```bash
+# Main server
+cd ~/notary_docker_main
+./stop
+docker compose up -d --build 
+docker compose logs -f --tail 33
+
+# 3P server
+cd ~/notary_docker_3p
+./stop
+docker compose up -d --build 
+docker compose logs -f --tail 33
+```
+
+Once all coin RPCs are ready and responding:
+
+### Restart Iguana
+
+```bash
+# Update dPoW repo
+cd ~/dPoW
+git checkout master
+git pull
+
+# Restart Iguana
+pkill -9 iguana
+sleep 2
+mkdir -p ~/logs
+cd ~/dPoW/iguana
+./m_notary_3rdparty_docker > ~/logs/iguana_3p.log &
+./m_notary_main > ~/logs/iguana_main.log &
+tail -f ~/logs/iguana_*.log
+
+```
+
+If using [dragon_node](https://github.com/smk762/dragon_node), it has also been updated.
+
+Monitor logs afterwards to confirm notarisations are progressing.
