Online upgrading not working

[jmp2000]

Running 2.3.7 - trying to upgrade to 2.4.0.

When I use the commands shown online for upgrading on the Wiki - I get the following.

root@aqualinkd:/software/AqualinkD# cd /software/AqualinkD
root@aqualinkd:/software/AqualinkD# git pull
bash: git: command not found
root@aqualinkd:/software/AqualinkD# sudo ./release/install.sh
Arch is armhf, Using 32bit AqualinkD
AqualinkD config exists, did not copy new config, you may need to edit existing! /etc/aqualinkd.conf
AqualinkD defaults exists, did not copy new defaults to /etc/default/aqualinkd
Avahi/mDNS defaults exists, did not copy new defaults to /etc/avahi/services//aqualinkd.service
AqualinkD web config exists, did not copy new config, you may need to edit existing /var/www/aqualinkd//config.js
Starting daemon aqualinkd
root@aqualinkd:~/software/AqualinkD# sudo systemctl start aqualinkd

I then go into Aqmanager to verify what version it is - and it still shows 2.3.7 - so it doesn't look like it performed the upgrade.

I'd prefer to not have to wipe the full RPi and reformat and all that to upgrade between these versions. Any ideas? Let me know if you need any other screenshots.

it looks like you re-installed 2.3.7 over the top of itself.
Look at your 3rd line bash: git: command not found

That basically didn't pull the latest version.

Did the git pull work? if it failed, and from your previous post looks like you need to install git. sudo apt get install git

BUT, Since you don't have git, you probably did the simple install in the beginning. That has an easier upgrade.

You may just want to run ~/aqua.sh release

-- EDIT --
Depending on permissions, you may want to run it as below

cd ~
sudo ./aqua.sh release

Apologies... I feel like a total noob here...! I've tried about every combination.... nothing working for me.

Any ideas? Am I in some wrong directory... again apologies... it must be something simple that is clearly eluding me!

root@aqualinkd:# /aqua.sh release
bash: /root/aqua.sh: No such file or directory
root@aqualinkd:# cd software
root@aqualinkd:/software# dir
AqualinkD AqualinkD-2.3.7
root@aqualinkd:/software# /aqua.sh release
bash: /root/aqua.sh: No such file or directory
root@aqualinkd:/software# cd ~
root@aqualinkd:# dir

I did install git - "sudo apt-get install git", after i did an update (it gave me errors before then).. sudo apt-get update.

The Raspbian update worked, and then installation of Git worked. But then i tried about everything else.... still no go. Checked on Aqmanager - still running 2.3.7. Oy =)

The below is in reply too #348 (reply in thread)

It looks like you are getting confused with standard user and root user.
~ means home directly, when you are standard user that's different to when you are root. When root ~ means /root, then user ~ means /home/user.
I think you probably have aqua.sh in a users home directory, but every command you try you are root, so it's trying to find that in root home directly.

I'm not sure what your regular user name is, so I can't give you the commands to run. BUT, best bet. Start a new ssh session, that will log you in as standard user in home directory.
run.
ls -a aqua.sh
If you get a file then run
sudo ./aqua.sh release
If you get no file found then run
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sfeakes/AqualinkD/master/extras/aqua.sh -o aqua.sh && chmod 755 aqua.sh && ./aqua.sh release

That should fix things up for you.

That is telling you are not in a git repo. This is because you must have done the "simple / trust everything install" initially.

If you want to move to the long / manual install, then you will need to follow all the git commands below.
https://github.com/sfeakes/AqualinkD/wiki#Install

BUT, you are probably better off using the simple install, so forget the git commands.

Ha! One always feels dumb once the answer is pointed out at your feet! Thank you for your patience... like every day, I learned something new there! Thank you so much! (Version 2.4.0 works like a charm - like the multiple temp indications - they run great!!)

[sfeakes]

Glad you got it working/upgraded. Also good that the multiple temp are working.
