From the server desktop
- Download the gzip-file containing the latest version.
- Move the PIXILAB_Blocks_Linux.tar.gz file to the home directory of the pixi-server user of your Linux server.
- 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.
Remote using ssh
Provided ssh has been enabled on the server blocks updates can be done remote over ssh. User and computer must be changed depending on the local setup.
ssh pixi-server@pixi.guide cd /home/pixi-server wget https://pixilab.se/outgoing/blocks/PIXILAB_Blocks_Linux.tar.gz ./stop.sh tar xvzf PIXILAB_Blocks_Linux.tar.gz ./start.sh
