Updating your Installation

Updating ENiGMA½ can be a bit of a learning curve compared to other systems. Especially when running off of a development branch (such as 0.0.9-alpha being the recommended branch as of this writing), you'll want frequent updates.

Steps

In general the steps are as follows:

  1. cd /path/to/enigma-bbs
  2. git pull
  3. Merge updates to config/menu_template.hjson to your config/yourbbsname-menu.hjson file.
  4. If there are updates to the art/themes/luciano_blocktronics/theme.hjson file and you have a custom theme, you way wan to look at them as well.

Visual diff tools such as DiffMerge (free, works on all major platforms) can be very helpful here.
