|
|
|
= Release or Development Version? =
|
|
|
|
CORE releases are numbered such as CORE 4.5, CORE 4.6, etc. They can be found as [http://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/core/packages/ packages] or [http://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/core/source/ source]. [http://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/core/source/nightly_snapshots/ Development snapshots] are created nightly as source tarballs.
|
|
|
|
Choose the latest CORE release if:
|
|
* you want a more stable, tested CORE
|
|
* you would like to use pre-built binary packages
|
|
* you want documentation
|
|
|
|
Choose the development snapshot if:
|
|
* you want bleeding edge features
|
|
* you desire some functionality or bugfix described on the CORE mailing list, blog, or wiki
|
|
* you're running with the latest Linux distro that is not supported by the latest release
|
|
* you're comfortable compiling and installing the CORE source
|

= Switching Versions =
|
|
|
|
First, uninstall the previously installed version.
|
|
|
|
To uninstall the CORE package, use a command such as:
|
|
{{{
|
|
# Ubuntu package uninstall
|
|
dpkg -r core-daemon-4.6 core-gui-4.6
|
|
}}}
|
|
{{{
|
|
# Fedora package uninstall
|
|
rpm -e core-daemon-4.6 core-gui-4.6
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
To uninstall from the CORE source, change to your CORE source build directory and use `sudo make uninstall`:
|
|
{{{
|
|
# source uninstall
|
|
cd core-4.6
|
|
sudo make uninstall
|
|
}}}
|
|
|
|
Uninstalling should not remove your user settings or `imn` scenario files. See the notes in the section below.
|
|
|
|
Next, follow the installation instructions in the [Quickstart] or CORE manual to install from packages or source.

Notes on `imn` file compatibility will be listed here.

When upgrading, you may want to back up your `.core` user directory or temporarily move it out of the way. This allows the GUI to re-create default settings |
