- | ====== Upgrading your Greenstone Installation ====== | ||
- | Greenstone upgrades involve installing the latest version in a separate place to your existing installation, | ||
- | Once you have the new version working, then you need to change to serving up that one instead of the original. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Upgrading from an old Greenstone 2 version ===== | ||
- | |||
- | You can choose whether to upgrade to the latest greenstone 2 version, or try out a greenstone 3 version. You can download both from [[https:// | ||
- | |||
- | You can see a greenstone 3 version at www.greenstone.org/ | ||
- | |||
- | Note, its pretty simple to install both (unless you are on a new mac) and take a look at each one. | ||
- | |||
- | The general process, for either version, would be to download the new version into a separate place, NOT on top of the old version. | ||
- | Get it running and make sure the demo collection is working. | ||
- | |||
- | Then copy the collections from the old version into the new version. | ||
- | For greenstone 2, you can just copy them over and run the library. If you have added macros to extra.dm then they might need to be modified depending if they still fit in with the latest interface. | ||
- | |||
- | For greenstone3, | ||
- | You might need to check format statements as the conversion process is not 100% accurate. | ||
- | |||
- | If you have modified the main interface, then you can look at doing that next to your new greenstone. Obviously this will be easier to do in greenstone 2 as your old version and the new version both use macro files. the macros will have changed though, so your modifications might need some modification for the new interface. |
