Difference between Install and Upgrade[edit | edit source]

If you have installed erp5_forge business template, and are a bleeding-edge type, you can from time to time update your system to the latest svn revision - see http://wiki.erp5.org/HowToUseERP5Subversion#update_from_svn.

Usually, the recommended way would be to first update the source code (by running svn_update.sh script), then update all bt5 starting from the more basic ones and on to the application-level, so it'd go more or less like:

  • erp5_core
  • erp5_xhtml_style
  • erp5_mysql_innodb_catalog
  • erp5_pdm
  • erp5_trade
  • ...
