  3. text=PmWiki is designed to make it easy to upgrade the PmWiki software without affecting your existing data files or installation.²²To upgrade PmWiki: ²²0. If you're upgrading to a new major release (a release where the second number changes, as in going from 0.5.27 to 0.6.0), then carefully read the PmWiki:ReleaseNotes before performing an upgrade to see if there are any significant changes or preparation tasks that must be handled before performing the upgrade. ²²1. It's ''always'' a good idea to have a backup copy of your existing PmWiki installation before starting. You can copy the entire directory containing your existing installation, or you can just make copies of the @@wiki.d@@ directory and any other local customization files you may have created (e.g., @@config.php@@, @@localmap.txt@@, etc.).²²2. Download the version of PmWiki that you want from http://www.pmichaud.com/pub/pmwiki.²²3. Extract the tar image using @@tar xvfz ''tgzfile''@@, where ''tgzfile'' is the tar file you downloaded above. This will create a @@pmwiki-x.y.z@@ directory with the new version of the software.²²4. Copy the files in @@pmwiki-x.y.z@@ over the files of your existing PmWiki installation. For example, if your existing PmWiki installation is in a directory called ''pmwiki'', then one way to copy the new files over the existing ones is to enter the command:²² cp -a pmwiki-x.y.z/. pmwiki²²::Note that OS X does not have the -a option as a command-line argument for ''cp'' but so far, it seems to work fine without the argument. Please back up the entire directory before trying. (The Crisses)²²5. That's it! As long as you didn't make any customizations to the @@pmwiki.php@@ script (LocalCustomizations should go in @@config.php@@), then your PmWiki installation should continue to run correctly!²²%trail%<<|PmWiki.DocumentationIndex|>>
