Microsoft has released another SharePoint 2013 Cumulative Update in December 2014. Let me help you know how we can install  December 2014 on SharePoint 2013 server.

Its per-requisites is either SharePoint 2013 SP1 or SharePoint 2013 March PU.

Now the most important part is how to install SharePoint server December 2014 Cumulative Update.

Previous releases of the SharePoint Server 2013 cumulative update included both the executable and the .CAB file in the same self-extracting executable download. Because of the file size, the SharePoint Server 2013 package has been divided into several separate downloads. One contains the executable file, while the others contain the CAB file. All are necessary and must be placed in the same folder to successfully install the update. All are available by clicking the same Hotfix Download Available link in the KB article for the release.

Here is link for all the updates:

Now here the twist starts, SharePoint 2013 update has 3 setup files 480662_intl_x64_zip.exe, 480661_intl_x64_zip.exe, 480660_intl_x64_zip.exe: You can download this from:
