Upgrade

Upgrade Command

To upgrade an instance of Teddy to the latest release version, open your command line application (Command Prompt in Windows or the Terminal in Linux), navigate to $TEDDY_BASE and execute the following command.

npm run upgrade

The upgrader will:

1. Check the latest Teddy release on GitHub.
2. Compare it with the installed version.
3. Ask for confirmation before upgrading.
4. Download the release archive and checksum file.
5. Verify the archive checksum.
6. Extract the release into ./working/upgrade/downloads.
7. Start the extracted release as an upgrade worker.
8. Back up the current installation under ./working/upgrade/backups.
9. Replace configured Teddy resources.
10. Run npm install.

If no newer version is available, no files are changed.

Upgrade Options

The following upgrade options are also available when running the command to upgrade your instance of Teddy, and may be optionally provided as command line arguments.

--dry-run
