Updating

Make a backup copy of your entire site and its database!

Updating from GitHub

  1. git pull as usual. Use the master branch for the latest releases.
  2. From the Omeka S root directory, run npx gulp deps to make sure dependencies are up to date.
  3. Compare changes in /config/local.config.php and /config/local.config.php.dist. Some default configurations might have changed, so you might need to reconcile changes to the distributed configuration with your local configuration (e.g., a path to PHP specific to your server, dev mode settings, etc.)
  4. In your web browser, go to your site and run any migrations that are needed.

Updating from released zip file

  1. Download the latest release from the release page
  2. Make a copy of your /config directory. You will need to restore your local.config.php and database.ini files from that copy.
  3. Make a copy of your /modules and /themes directories.
  4. Make a copy of your /files directory.
  5. Remove all Omeka S files, and replace them with the files from the updated zip file.
  6. Replace your original /config/local.config.php file, and the /modules, /themes, and /files directories that you copied.
  7. In your web browser, go to your site and run any migrations that are needed.

Creating a zipped release

Run npx gulp zip to create a zipped version of Omeka S and store it in /build. Use the --no-dev flag to omit Composer dev dependencies for a smaller package suitable for end-users. Official releases follow this same process from a new, clean checkout.
