Updating Guide

Currently Peppy player doesn't have any update utility. Therefore the updating process is mostly manual. Here is the recommended procedure for updating current version of the Peppy player software by new version:

1. Before installing new version of the Peppy player software create the backup copy of the current folder:

mv /home/pi/Peppy /home/pi/Peppy.bak

That backup copy will allow to transfer the current configuration settings to the new version. Also if anything will go wrong with new version there will be a way to rollback to the old version.

2. Install new version of the Peppy software:

git clone https://github.com/project-owner/Peppy.git

3. If any changes were made in one of the configuration files (config.txt, players.txt) those changes should be transferred to the same files in new installation.

4. New dependencies/libraries which were added to the new version of the player should be installed as well.
