Upgrading/Updating on Ubuntu

[heldeman]

I use Ubuntu 14.04LTS. I know with software updater you can update but you have to type some instructions someplace. Will software updater also upgrade the software. If not must the terminal be used and what is the code - heldeman@Ubuntu:~$ ??? ???.
Thanks a lot if you can help me.

If you’re using Server Edition.
I think this link would be helpful for your question.

How to upgrade Ubuntu Manager Server Edition

Yes, just follow the instructions as if you are installing Manager Server for the first time. You can skip the first 2 steps from tutorial.

How to update to the latest version

You don’t need to delete the folder with the old edition, you should just unpack new version to the same folder so it overrides files from the old version, then restart the server so new version will be launched on boot.

I’ve seen few user trying to do it automatically by using their writing script.
You can refer from here.

What I’ve done. I’m using terminal to update.

Download latest version.

wget http://cdn.manager.io/downloads/v15.1.84/ManagerServer.tar.gz

You can check here, for latest version number.
http://www.manager.io/desktop/download/

Uncompressed, downloaded file.

tar -xzf ManagerServer.tar.gz

Reboot your server.

reboot

Rerun Manager if you didn’t use rc.local script.

And if you are using desktop edition, Ubuntu will very rarely upgrade Manager. The best way is to download DEB file from Download | Manager and do the upgrade that way.
