Upgrade your Minera system packages

Michele Marcucci edited this page Feb 28, 2015 · 3 revisions

Every Minera images build are always upgraded to the latest versions of Raspbian (the Linux system distribution where Minera runs) packages, but if you have an old image build and you updated your Minera version via web interface, you should need to upgrade the system packages manually.

Minera web update doesn't upgrade the system packages so here are the instructions to do it manually.

Note: You absolutely need to do this if you wanna use a new Raspberry PI 2 and you are running a Minera image version <= 0.4.0. You have to do this in your Raspberry PI (not 2), then you can take your SD Card and put it on a Raspberry PI 2 without any problems.

Connect via SSH or run the web terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This could take a while (I mean also an hour, it's slow), but after that you can run your Minera SD Card in any Raspberry PI model, new ones included.
