If you didn't install your application with [Softaculous](https://www.softaculous.com/softaculous/) but you'd like to use it to [update](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-easily-update-an-application-with-softaculous-1fto621/) or [duplicate](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-duplicate-my-application-for-testing-g12029/) it, that's entirely possible.

* [Log in to your cPanel](https://help.hodi.host/en/article/how-do-i-access-cpanel-en4rsm/)
* In the "**Software**" section, click "**Softaculous App Installer**"
* Click the "**Import installation**" icon in the top right:
