Update software called 'modules' to a newer version - instructions #544
Comments
Dear @eMKiso, The INSTALL guide should help you I think: https://modules.readthedocs.io/en/latest/INSTALL.html Please let me know if something is unclear. Regards. |
Hi @xdelaruelle, thanks for the quick reply. I skimmed through the installation page above but didn't really find much connected to the update info, what could/should be backuped before an update etc. Perhaps a warning about important breaking changes (I did find those on a separate subpage). My main concern is, that I installed the software in 2018 and don't really want to break anything and I don't really remember what manual changes I did to the 'config' at that time. I would just like to update to the newest v4 because of one specific feature. I guess I'll try and in case something goes wrong I'll use the system backup and revert back to the old version. It is really good and useful software, I used it on multiple HPCs. Thank you for all your effort! Best regards! |
Thanks for your explanations. I will try to update the documentation to provide hints when upgrading Modules instead of installing it from scratch. |
Thank you very much! Much appreciated! |
Dear all,
perhaps I am missing something and I was also not able to find anything with google search not in the documentation.
OBJECTIVE
I have a version of modules X.Y and want to update to the latest (or a specific newer version).
How do I do that? I cannot figure out, how to update software modules that was installed manually (not through a package manager).
Thanks!
