Hi all! This is probably a stupid noob type question but it has been a while since I set my pi up with qlc and now I am wondering what is the easiest way to upgrade to the latest version without screwing my working setup? I know the obvious answer is don’t bother if everything is working but I like staying up to date.

Thanks,

With the provided Debian package:

Code: Select all

sudo dpkg -r qlcplus
sudo dpkg -i qlcplus_xxx.deb

Ok so I ssh’d in and ran the first command but I assume the xxx in your second command should be replaced with a number maybe. Tried a few things but can’t seem to get it to install.

Thanks,

You need the QLC+ package for the raspberry pi.

No worries. I wound up just taking the sdcard out and used win32diskimager to write the new image. I was just trying to see if there was an easier way without removing the sdcard by ssh’ing in but at the end of the day redoing the sdcard was probably the easiest way after all.

Thanks,
