Locked Re: JMRI update on a raspberry pi


 

To update your system you need a network connection, use your VNC connect to get to to the Pi.
On the task bar (at the top) you should see the icon for the terminal window. Open the terminal and type in the following at the prompt:
sudo apt update
? then press the enter key. Make sure it's all lower case. Linux is case sensitive!
After a few minutes, you will receive a response stating x packages can be upgraded.
or All packages are up to date.
If you get the first message, enter the following at the prompt:
sudo apt upgrade -y
?then press the enter key. Make sure it's all lower case.
You may want to reboot your Pi if it hasn't been upgraded in a while.
Do this by typing the following at the prompt:
sudo shutdown -r
? then press the enter key.
type in
exit
? then press the enter key.
That'll bring your Pi up to date after it re-boots. You may have noticed pi2B or pi3B at the prompt. That's your Pi model.

Use this link for installation of JMRI



?To update JMRI, start Decoder Pro, go to Help, check for updates and you'll get information on the latest production and test releases.

I originally set up my Raspberry Pi using the information from this gentlemen's site.



I am looking for some assistance in doing the following to the JMRI installation.
  1. I would like to update the JMRI that is on the system but I am a novice Linux admin
  2. How to back up at a minimum the roster that I have.? I use Realvnc to run the raspberry pi headless but I really do not have it "network" to my windows computers?
  3. How to download the latest JMRI onto the raspberry and perform the JMRI update.
  4. copy the roster back into the correct location.
    1. Clean up install files after I am done with the update.

Looking for other things I should do to the system (operating system update? or should I just leave it as is).

Note: I am happy to post better specification for my system, but I could use some help with commands that tell me what version of operating system I am running and system specs (I think it is a Raspberry pi 3 but am not positive).? i.e. pretty much up to this point I built it and have simply used it to do JMRI work.

Thank you?
