Upgrading Box Of Stops to the latest version is very similar to installing it the first time.

To upgrade:

  • First stop Box Of Stops, if it is already running
  • Then use the normal install instructions to download and restart Box Of Stops, except you won't need to create the boxofstops directory - the mkdir command can be omitted

If for any reason you forget to stop Box Of Stops before the upgrade, this is no particular problem. The wget -N command will still overwrite the previous version. Once this is complete, please just restart the whole Pi, to relaunch the new version. The sudo reboot command can be used to do this: Sudo-reboot.png
