[Documentation] How to update? #551

Closed le-jun closed 4 months ago

le-jun commented 11 months ago

It's my first time using something from source, and everything kinda works but I'm wondering, how should one update the whole thing once installed? Should I uninstall anything, just repeat the whole installation process, something else?

@le-jun To update, you can simply type git pull (if you cloned via Git, if not, redownload the latest source) and build & install the same way you did it the first time, with a slight modification, in that you should use installnoconf instead of install (the system service should already be installed anyway). I do think this should be mentionned in the README, however.
