Upgrading Mudlet

Post by redt »

It's been 2 years since I last upgraded Mudlet and I forgot how it's done.

My current version is Mudlet 2.0 June 12, 2011.

Do I just uninstall it through Ubuntu Software Center and install the new version?

I did look through the forum and through wiki but I can't the info.

Thanks

Yep! Your Mudlet data is separate from your Mudlet installation, and we try to make sure nothing breaks on upgrades - so you can just uninstall old, install newer Mudlet and be fine.

Thanks, Vadi, will do.

Edit: Done, unfortunately, the version in the 'Ubuntu Software Center' is 2 years old, exactly the same as I already had.

Edit 2: Ok, looks like no newer version of Mudlet is available for Ubuntu 12.04.

If it's not in the ppa, you could download the binary distribution from www.mudlet.org/download under the "Linux" heading. It will install everything it needs into a folder in your home directory and you can launch it from there using the desktop file or the run-mudlet.sh script.
