Topic: Updating to latest version

[DoctorKnow]

How do you update to the latest version? Do you have to redo everything, or do the settings transfer somehow? I am still on version 3203. The dashboard keeps telling me I am not running the latest release.

Hi,
With CumulusMX stopped, copy the content of the latest version unzipped \CumulusMX folder and paste in your working install.  Restart CumulusMX and you're updated.  Cumulus.ini settings file, \data and \Reports folders are not affected by the update.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi,
I have not used a RPi so can't comment on that.  However, this https://www.cumuluswiki.org/a/Software#Raspberry_Pi_Image indicates it is for a first time install so possible an update is the same as for PC -
