# Download the release distribution | |||
# Use '''control-c''' (or equivalent for MX running as service) to stop your existing MX software | |||
# Backup your existing installation | |||
# Do the on-off actions identified (e.g. changing schema of database tables, adding new configuration | |||
# Unzip the distribution over existing one (alternative installation options listed later) | |||
# Restart MX, considering whether to use '''-debug''' parameter in case the new release does not work for you | |||
# Check the latest file in the MXDiags folder after an hour, to see if there have been any problems with reading from station, real-time uploads, standard uploads, or hourly uploads. (You may wish to recheck after an End of Day action has been done). | |||
