Upgrading between Bluecherry releases is a simple two step process. This allows for easy upgrading, even for remote systems.
sudo apt-get update
First, open a terminal window, or ssh into the server if you plan to upgrade remotely.
Type the following: sudo apt-get update
This will connect to both our servers and the Ubuntu repositories and check for updates
sudo apt-get install bluecherry
After the update has completed, type the following: sudo apt-get install bluecherry
When prompted type Y and enter.
The latest Bluecherry server will now be installed. Now is also a good time to install any updates to your Ubuntu system. You can type the following: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
This process could take a while depending on the speed of your system and your bandwidth. Keep in mind that Bluecherry only provides support for our software, and not for any Ubuntu configuration issues.
