Update Blocks version on Linux server

From the server desktop

  1. Download the gzip-file containing the latest version.
  2. Move the PIXILAB_Blocks_Linux.tar.gz file to the home directory of the pixi-server user of your Linux server.
  3. Stop the server, Unpack the file on your Linux server, thus replacing the previous files/folders with the same names, start the server by running the following commands one by one from a terminal window opened under the pixi-server user's account:
 cd /home/pixi-server
 ./stop.sh
 tar xvzf PIXILAB_Blocks_Linux.tar.gz
 ./start.sh

Make sure you keep other aspects of your Linux-based server up to date as well by following these instructions.

:!: Some advanced features, such as the Synchronizer and the Locator, may require updates to your Blocks license. If you're unsure whether you need such an update, please contact support@pixilab.se before upgrading.
