+Maintenance
+===========
+
+
+Updating Python dependencies
+----------------------------
+To update the Python dependencies:
+
+#. Execute script to refresh `requirements{-dev}.txt` files:
+
+    $ ./contrib/refresh-requirements.sh
+
+#. Stage and commit `requirements{-dev}.txt` files
+
+
+Updating frontend dependencies
+------------------------------
+The frontend dependencies are managed with `npm` as defined in the `package.json`.
+The following are required to perform an update of the dependencies:
+
+#. Bump versions in `package.json`
+
+#. Download and install the latest version of the dependencies
+
+    $ npm install
+
+#. Move the installed version into to satnogs-network source tree
+
+    $ ./node_modules/.bin/gulp
+
+#. Stage & commit the updated files in `network/static/`.
