NEMS Command: nems-upgrade

nems-upgrade automatically upgrades NEMS Linux. It is very easy to use, and is how I am able to offer NEMS as a rolling release during each major release cycle (called NEMS Branch). This way, you do not have to re-download and re-flash NEMS every time I release a new feature.

Generally, bugfixes and minor improvements do not require manual intervention: they are automatically handled by nightly update processes.

By contrast, rolling release upgrades (I.E., point release upgrades) require you to manually upgrade with the nems-upgrade command, which requires root access.

In order to run nems-upgrade your NEMS Server must first be initialized.

Command Line Options

  • sudo nems-upgrade - Upgrade NEMS to the latest rolling release within the current branch.

  • sudo nems-upgrade reset - Reset NEMS to the top-level branch of the currently running version and upgrade from there. Helpful when fixing a botched upgrade, should one occur.
