How do I upgrade on OS X Monterey? #560

Closed PacoH closed 1 year ago

PacoH commented 1 year ago

When I start the app, I get a popup:

ElectronMail
App update is available.

Update

It has about a two second persistence. If I am lucky, I can click it but nothing happens. If I go to the site Releases, I can download the latest version but it is just a new version of the app. How can I upgrade the existing app?

This is a way.

You can also disable update check in the app settings (see respective toggle in the "General" settings block).

Huh? I want to be notified but usually you can upgrade an app from within the app.

It was here too before I dropped this functionality from the app, as at that time it was not stable enough, in my opinion. Maybe it gets back one day, but right now you get notification only (opt-out via settings).

You might want to explore a repo options like Homebrew if automatic update is a desired thing.

Oh, thanks for telling me. Why didn't you say so in the Installation section? Homebrew is the preferred way to install and manage GitHub tools and apps on a Mac.

brew install electronmail did the trick. It installed the latest version into the Applications folder. All data and settings are intact.
