```

Upload the files from `server-files/` folder:

### **Step 2: Make Files Publicly Accessible**

You should see the JSON content!

### **Step 3: Test the System**

1. Click "VECTOR MANAGEMENT V1.0" in your POS sidebar
2. Should open update page
3. Currently shows v1.0.0 (current) vs v1.0.1 (latest from server)
4. If it shows "Update Available", the connection works! 🎉
