Preliminary considerations
This guide explains how to upgrade to ICA-AtoM 1.3. If you are want to upgrade to an older release, please refer to the Qubit upgrading documentation. However, we strongly recommend to use our latest release because it is safer, faster and more stable and includes all kind of new features and enhancements.
Check requirements
ICA-AtoM 1.3 did not introduce new requirements. Please refer to the Minimum requirements page to make sure that your system meets all the requirements.
Read the release notes
Now's the time to find out what has been changed in the new release, there are some new features, enhancements and bug fixes that may be of your concern.
Back up existing files and the database
Before proceeding with the upgrade, please make a full backup of all your data following our instructions: Data backup.
Unpack the new files
If you wish to install to the same directory as your previous version you must remove the old installation directory first. Moving the existing directory, rather than deleting it, preserves any digital objects, custom files or translations for transfer to the new version of the application. For example:
$ mv /var/www/icaatom /var/www/icaatom_old
Download the latest ICA-AtoM tarball and extract it in a new directory of your web root. For example, to extract the icaatom-1.3.0.tgz tarball to the /var/www/icaatom-1.3.0 directory, type:
$ tar xvzf icaatom-1.3.0.tgz -C /var/www
Now, please set the file and directory permissions as explained.
