Consider adding a simple procedure about how to update the Bonsai library. #7

Closed filcarv closed 1 month ago

filcarv commented 2 months ago

The ONIX computers being shipped are installed with the latest library available during assembly, which may not necessarily mean that it's the latest available version when shipping (because there's a time difference between the computer's assembly and shipping that can be months).

If documentation about how to update exists, we will add a PDF file right on the computer's Desktop asking the user to update the libraries before start working. We would point to this procedure.

In addition to a page on updating the library, maybe add a page on how to uninstall the old library if needed.

bparks13 commented 2 months ago

Have references on how to install locally to keep two different environments for the old library and the old library.

Related: Have an admonition for how to use the portable Bonsai executable, talk about how lightweight it is, and the benefit of keeping environments separated.

I think the local vs. global install issue is handled to some degree in the admonition about portable vs. global installs of Bonsai. I do agree that installation instructions would be helpful.

since jonnew made a new issue for bparks latest comment on this thread, I'm going to go ahead and close this one.
