mobead61 · 01-30-2025, 04:20 AM

Hello Everyone,

I'm using calibre since years and I have a question since the beginning.

I always used the distrubution package because I never undestood how to manually update the binaries installation in linux.

I'm a bit tired of the always old distro packages

so could you pls help me to understand how to update after install with this command: sudo -v && wget -nv -O- https://download.calibre-ebook.com/linux-installer.sh | sudo sh /dev/stdin install_dir=/opt ?

thanks,
bye,

Alex

You just run the exact same command. As simple as that.

Many thanks,

so every file and directory that needs to be added and overwritten will be ?
and also deleted ?
and the database structure of all the libraries I have ?
if the new version of the software use a different schema in the *db files ?
like bigger field, or new fields ?
how do I add them to the mine ?
Thanks,
Bye,

Alex

calibre will handle any database changes it needs to make.
