Upgrade to 2.2 how to #100

Closed LrGit closed 6 years ago

LrGit commented 6 years ago

Hi. I use your previous version (rust) which I find particularly usefull on home pc and when travelling with a laptop - both use Win 10. I am not familiar with either linux or rust but must have a bit of knowledge in order to get it working. Hope it's ok to post my question here as it's the only place I could find to contact you easily

How do I upgrade from the previous version to 2.2 please?. Is there an easy way?

You have done a great job with this. But I imagine far more people would use it had an easier install method

Since there is no installation, just download the new version and execute it instead of the old one.

Most cool. Might have helped if I had downed the correct version :)

Also had problems with windows deciding I was not allowed to remove the old folder so looked for services etc. Solved by moving all files to a new folder

For others:

  1. Uninstall old version of gnirehtet from phone
  2. Restart phone
  3. Copy apk to phone and then install it
  4. Run 'gnirehtet-run.cmd'
  5. Smile

Thanks for the help

Steps 1, 2 and 3 should not be necessary.

LrGit commented 6 years ago

OK. But for my info -why not?

ps. it seems to connect a lot better now. I was starting the run command and getting errors/file not found etc. But if I kept trying it would suddenly connect ok

On gnirehtet start, it checks the version installed on the device. If the version does not match, it installs the new one.
