Upgrade instructions¶

Before performing an upgrade (or any other system change), it is highly recommended to use the backup interactive mode command to back up the Plixer Replicator database.

SSH to the appliance as the replicator user and start a new tmux session:
```
tmux new -s upgrade
```

Download the upgrade script:

cd /home/replicator/files
wget https://files.plixer.com/downloads/replicator/18/upgrade_18.14.sh

Set the correct permissions for the upgrade script:
```
chmod 755 upgrade_18.14.sh
```
Run upgrade_18.14.sh:
```
./upgrade_18.14.sh
```

After the upgrade is complete, the appliance will automatically reboot. To verify that the upgrade was successful, launch interactive mode and check the version number when the tool loads.
