HOW TO HANDLE AN UPDATE WITH "DPKG"? --

I installed v1.3.1 with "dpkg" on Ubuntu 14.04. Should I uninstall/reinstall, or is there an update procedure?

I don't wish to destroy a working install with a botched upgrade. --scryptr

dpkg/apt do take care of updates. No worries.

THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING--

But I am suggesting that you post a version upgrade procedure for Excavator 1.3.6+ following the initial install instructions. I use Linux a lot, but am not a great master. --scryptr

Sure, I could do that for you:

Code:

wget https://github.com/nicehash/excavator/releases/download/v1.3.6a/excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i excavator_1.3.6a-trusty0_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

THANK YOU! --

What I understand from this is that a new version of Excavator will simply install over a successfully installed previous edition. Is that correct? --scryptr

P.S. The control features of Excavator are terrific! --scryptr
