It assumes that your main FreshRSS directory is `/usr/share/FreshRSS`; If you've installed it somewhere else, substitute your path as necessary. + +## Using git + +**You must have used git to install FreshRSS to use this update method.** + +If your local user doesn't have write access to the FreshRSS folder, use a sudo shell (`sudo -s`), prefix the following commands with `sudo `, or switch to an account that does have write access to the folder. + +1. Change to your FreshRSS directory +``` +cd /usr/share/FreshRSS/ +``` + +2. Verify the branch you're currently on. For stable releases, this should be `master`. +``` +git branch +``` + + +3. Fetch the most recent code from the FreshRSS github Page +``` +git fetch --all +``` + +Note: If you wish to switch to a specific version of FreshRSS, or switch to/from the dev branch, this is the time to do that. Example commands for switching branches are found below, in "Switching Branches" + +4. Check for an update +``` +git status +``` + +If there's not an update, you're done! If there is, continue the following steps: + +5. Discard manual changes and delete manual additions +``` +get reset --hard +git clean -f -d +``` + +6. Delete the file that triggers the install wizard +``` +rm data/do-install.txt +``` + +7. Update to the new version of FreshRSS +``` +git pull +``` + +8. Re-set correct permissions so that your web server can access the files +``` +chown -R :www-data . && chmod -R g+r . && chmod -R g+w ./data/ +``` + +### Switching Branches + +Any command listed here should be run between steps 3 and 4 in the previous section. + +To switch from stable to dev (if you haven't before) use the following command: `git checkout -b dev origin/dev` + +If you've checked out dev and want to go back to master, the command would be `git checkout master`. After the first time you check out the dev branch, you can use this syntax to switch between the two main branches at will. + +If you wish to switch to [a specific release of FreshRSS](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/releases), you would use the command `git checkout <release_name>`, where <release_name> is the specific release number you wish to check out (for example, `git checkout 1.12.0`). Be aware that checking out a specific release will leave you in a state where you can't automatically update; you'll need to run `git checkout master` or `git checkout dev` before you'll be able to pull updates from git automatically. + +## Using the zip Archive + +If your local user doesn't have write access to the FreshRSS folder, use a sudo shell (`sudo -s`), prefix the following commands with `sudo `, or switch to an account that does have write access to the folder. + +1. Change to your FreshRSS directory +``` +cd /usr/share/FreshRSS/ +``` + +2. Download and unzip the update file +``` +wget https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/archive/master.zip +unzip master.zip +``` + +3. Overwrite all your existing files with the new ones +``` +cp -R FreshRSS-master/* . +``` + +4. Re-set permissions +``` +chown -R :www-data . && chmod -R g+r . && chmod -R g+w ./data/ +``` + +5. Clean up the FreshRSS directory by deleting the downloaded zip, the file forcing the setup wizard and the temporary directory +``` +rm -f master.zip +rm -f data/do-install.txt +rm -rf FreshRSS-master/ +``` |
