BIRCH - Updating an existing
installation
The update process involves deleting a subset
of the existing BIRCH directories and downloading and reconfiguring new
ones. All other directories are retained, particularly
$BIRCH/local. Since $BIRCH/local contains all local settings and
locally-installed software, when the new version of BIRCH is installed,
it will be configured according to existing settings.
- Uninstall existing BIRCH
directories, except
$BIRCH/local
- Download BIRCH framework and binary files
- Run birchconfig
- Test your
installation
If you are upgrading from BIRCH A1.97 or earlier, replace step 1 above
with the the procedure listed here.
