How to update ord?

[DanielHook15]

I have installed version 0.5.0 by building it from source as follows:

git clone https://github.com/casey/ord.git cd ord cargo build --release

What is the correct way to update it to the newest version of ord?

@DanielHook15 git pull to "pull" latest commits and build again with cargo build --release.

Thank you for the fast help! This means in total to run the following lines?

git pull https://github.com/casey/ord.git cd ord cargo build --release

That works, thanks!

Just doing a git pull will put you at the latest commit, which could be unstable.

You really want to be on the latest release. To do that run

git fetch
git checkout 0.5.1

[DanielHook15]

Thanks a lot for this important correction!

Would someone be able to share what commands to run in Linux to get the update? I got lot a little bit above with the git fetch and then git clone

Thanks!

cd ord git fetch git checkout 0.5.1 cargo build --release

Thank you for the patience with all the questions. I just can't find an ord directory. Should it be in my /bin directory?

[andrewtoth]

First run git clone https://github.com/casey/ord.

[pavillag]

Thank you! That worked for me!

For other people that end up looking, this is what I ran:

git clone https://github.com/casey/ord.git cd ord git checkout 0.5.1 cargo build --release

[pavillag]

Ran cargo build --release and let it finish. Now after running ord --version I still get 0.5. Am I missing something?

[pavillag]

Ok figured it out. Here are additional steps:

git clone https://github.com/casey/ord.git
cd ord
git checkout 0.5.1
cargo build --release

which ord This gives you a path cd target/release ./ord --version - Should show version you are trying to install cp ord + [PATH ABOVE WHEN YOU RAN WHICH ORD]
