Reef Pi - Help

[Michael Lane]

This guide shows the pattern.

Go to https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/releases to find the release you want to install.
After you find the release, choose the package for your rpi (pi0 or pi3) and copy the hyperlink. Use that hyperlink in the terminal to download the file.

wget -c https://github.com/reef-pi/reef-pi/releases/download/3.0.0-pre-alpha-2/reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi0.deb

Next you should be able to install it using dpkg specifying the file you just downloaded.

sudo dpkg -i reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2-pi0.deb

Just remember that there are a few other steps involved if you are changing major releases (e.g 2.3 ->3.0).
You will need to stop the service and move/remove the db file before trying to change over.

If you are just upgrading a minor release, you can install directly over the old one with the steps that @Michael Lane showed.

Copy all of that gentleman, I was getting stuck at the first /reef-pi-3.0.0-pre-alpha-2/... I was only putting 3.0, and just kept getting 404 errors. Much obliged again, I'm slowly getting the hang of it!
