See installation procedure further down on this page.
Remarks for version upgrade
  • To upgrade the client from an older version, you can use the same procedure as for the installation. The client will be updated automatically.
  • When you changed your configuration file manually (e.g. changed the API key), you need to store it before installation, as installation will overwrite it.
  • When you entered the API key in the installation procedure directly (Debian/Ubuntu), it will be preserved and automatically used in the new configuration file.
