EMu 4.0 Install/Upgrade Notes
|
Introduction
Upgrading an installed EMu 4.0 to a later patch level is a straight forward procedure. There are four main components that can be upgraded:
- Texpress (the database engine)
- TexAPI (web services)
- EMu Server (the application)
- EMu Client (the client)
The notes below detail how to upgrade all systems. If you only need to upgrade one system, just skip the notes detailing the other ones. Check the Releases table for Client specific notes. Upgrading comprises the following steps:
In the notes below clientname refers to the name of the client directory for the current installation. The term ~emu is used to refer to the user emu's home directory. This is normally /dev/fs/C/home/emu.

It is recommended to use a new temporary directory named ~emu/clientname/install. Enter mkdir clientname/install
- Enter cd clientname/install
- Obtain the appropriate EMu server version bundle via the KE EMu Server hyperlink above.
Save the release bundle file in the ~emu/clientname/install temporary directory.
- Extract the client release by using the name of the actual release file.
Enter sh emu-clientname-yymmddv.sh The EMu release will be extracted.
