Updating OttoFMS
Update OttoFMS to the latest or a specific version using the hosted script, a manual reinstall, or the Linux APT repository.
Option 1: Update using the update script
We have set up a hosted update script that you can run on your server to update OttoFMS. Each OS has a different script, so make sure to use the correct one for your server.
To run, simply copy and paste the following command into your terminal:
sudo curl -sSL "https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-linux.sh" | bashIf you'd like to install or update to a specific version of OttoFMS, you can specify the version number as a parameter:
sudo curl -sSL "https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-linux.sh" | bash -s -- -v 4.1.0To run, simply copy and paste the following command into PowerShell:
iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-win.ps1'))If you'd like to install or update to a specific version of OttoFMS, you can specify the version number as a parameter:
$OttoFMSInstallVersion = "4.1.0"; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-win.ps1'))To run, simply copy and paste the following command into your terminal:
sudo curl -sSL "https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-mac.sh" | bashIf you'd like to install or update to a specific version of OttoFMS, you can specify the version number as a parameter:
sudo curl -sSL "https://downloads.ottomatic.cloud/ottofms/install-scripts/install-mac.sh" | bash -s -- -v 4.1.0Option 2: Manual Update
To manually update OttoFMS to a new version, follow the instructions for installing the new version.
When upgrading from an OttoFMS version <4.17.0, the manual upgrade process requires an uninstall and then an install of the new version. Using the update script handles this automatically.
Option 3: Update via the Linux APT Repository
If you installed OttoFMS on Linux from our APT repository, you can update it with your system's package manager instead of the update script:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade ottofms-appBecause this uses the standard APT workflow, any scheduled system updates you already have configured will pick up new versions of OttoFMS automatically.
