I'm running screen-scraper in a GUI-less environment (e.g., not running XWindows). How do I update it to the latest version?
When screen-scraper normally updates itself it downloads a zip file from our server, decompresses it, copies the files it contains on top of the existing files, then updates its version number. We have created a Python script that will perform these steps automatically. Otherwise, you'll need to do this manually. To do so follow these steps:
- Stop the server
- Download the update file. The URL for the udpate you'll need can be generated for you using our updater form.
- Decompress it.
- Copy the contents on top of your existing screen-scraper files.
- Edit the "Version" property of your "resource/conf/screen-scraper.properties" file so that it reflects the new version.
- Start the server
The next time you launch screen-scraper you'll have the updated version.
