Title: Can I update to 2.6.2 latest Post by: BitcoinSupremo on March 24, 2016, 11:03:52 AM I have electrum 2.5.4 but been learning many topics that the newest version has arrived. I am running it on an old version of Ubuntu , I don't see any update button through its GUI.
Can it be done via command line, of course I don't want to lose anything, cause if thats the case I am gladly staying with 2.5.4 Title: Re: Can I update to 2.6.2 latest Post by: --Encrypted-- on March 24, 2016, 11:24:25 AM I've been installing different versions over each other back and forth for testing purposes. it should be fine as long as you keep your wallet file and the seed.
there's no way of doing it from via the command line afaik. Title: Re: Can I update to 2.6.2 latest Post by: BitcoinSupremo on March 24, 2016, 12:15:25 PM So you are saying I need to install the 2.6.2 version in my same machine and use the seed to restore it ? If thats the case I am staying with 2.5.4 then.

If thats the case I am staying with 2.5.4 then. not if you didn't delete the wallet files. the wallet files doesn't get deleted even when you install another version.

sudo pip install https://download.electrum.org/2.6.3/Electrum-2.6.3.tar.gz This should install the new version over the old version and your wallet will be preserved and loaded by the new version. |
