There should be a PDF file in the 2.1.9 download that tells you how to install/update from 2.1.8 to 2.1.9 (bt-self-hosted-2.1.9.pdf). Take a look! ALSO before doing anything, DOWNLOAD your FTP files (all of them) and download all of your databases (your control panel database). Even if something were to go wrong (very unlikely, follow the clear steps) you would be able to restore everything.

One thing I noticed when I did my update was after I updated the files to my server, (and making a backup of everything) I did a 'reinstall' using the install script. After that all worked well. But even though things are 'installed' you'll want to do a re-install anyway. Cheers! -- Smug Comments Yep; Mr. David is on track.
