Well, basically files for php 5 and files for php 7 are different
So what you need is to

1. backup DB
2. rename folder to scj_backup
3. upgrade php
4. install scj (it'll download files for php7)
5. restore DB

0. create a backup of your smartcj folders

1. upgrade php
2. install a new copy of smartcj on any domain just to get files
3. copy new files into scj folder EXCEPT (!!!) config.php, common.php , .htaccess
these files contain domain specific data (DB name, path and so on)

Thanks, I'm using Nginx/Apache, so nothing to change in the nginx config files right?
