.. _Upgrading: Upgrading ========= Upgrading --------- Upgrade exakat with the `upgrade` command. `php exakat.phar upgrade` Exakat returns the current status : `This needs some updating (Current : 0.9.7c, Latest: 2.1.9)` To make exakat update itself, runs the same command, with the `-u` option. Exakat will then download the file, check the sums, and replace itself. Upgrading manually ------------------ Exakat is a PHP phar archive. Download the latest version from `www.exakat.io `_ and replace it. Upgrading gremlin-server ------------------------ Exakat installs the last version of gremlin at installation time. Usually, there is no need to upgrade the database when upgrading : changing the phar file is sufficient. However, to enjoy the new features, or keep up to date, it is recommended to upgrade the gremlin server. To upgrade gremlin-server, remove the old 'tinkergraph' folder from your installation. If exakat was installed following the installation instruction, this folder is located next to `exakat.phar`. Then, run again the installation instruction, only for gremlin.
