Package-based Upgrade
You can only use this upgrade method if you have previously installed the Content Engine as described in Package-based Installation. Otherwise you need to follow the method described in Old-style Upgrade.
All you need to do to upgrade your
Content Engine
(including any plug-ins that you have installed from
apt
/ rpm
packages) is:
-
Read the release notes for your planned upgrades (both Content Engine and plug-ins). Make a note of any special tasks that need to be carried out in connection with the upgrades. Some changes, for example, require you to run a database upgrade script after the upgrade.
-
Log in as
root
on your assembly-host and on each of your engine-hosts, and enter the following commands:#
apt-get update#
apt-get upgrade -
Carry out any required upgrade tasks. For general information about how to carry out a database upgrade should that be necessary, see: Database Upgrades.
