So I’ve noticed that there are newer versions of some folders and files on GitHub from the V1.0 release. How do I update my install to these newer versions? Do I need to do anything within TED to build these newer files or do they just over rite what I already have and I don’t need to do anything?
I downloaded the v1.0.1 release and repeated the setup – no probs. Haven’t looked at the very latest changes (apart from a specific change to Canvas) – not sure if you can just unpack those – I think the key is not overriding the latest compiler as I believe only Mark can compile that ATM?
I made a proper clone from the start. Whenever I want to update I usually wait for a semi-major fix or version on GitHub, then use git pull from the command-line. When it’s done downloading I just run the rebuild script and I’m up-to-date.
This approach does require you to make a proper clone of the repository, meaning you can’t simply download a ZIP file.
It would be good to get some clear instructions on what to do. Surely we can’t keep waiting for Mark to compile pre-built binaries before we get the latest release?
It’s pretty easy
Install git
From the command line in the directory you want to clone monkey 2 to, run:
git clone https://github.com/blitz-research/monkey2.git
That’ll install the current build. Then anytime you want to pull in New changes just run
git pull
And files will be updated. Rebuildall and you’re set
Nice – thanks! Easier than forking!
