Upgrading from previous ARM verions

Upgrading from v2_master to v2.2_dev

If you wish to upgrade from v2_master to v2.2_dev instead of a clean install, these directions should get you there.

cd /opt/arm
sudo git checkout v2.2_dev
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Backup config file and replace it with the updated config

mv arm.yaml arm.yaml.old
cp docs/arm.yaml.sample arm.yaml

There are new config parameters so review the new arm.yaml file

Make sure the 'arm' user has write permissions to the db directory (see your arm.yaml file for locaton). is writeable by the arm user. A db will be created when you first run ARM.

Make sure that your rules file is properly copied instead of linked:

sudo rm /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/51-automedia.rules
sudo cp /opt/arm/setup/51-automedia.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Otherwise you may not get the auto-launching of ARM when a disc is inserted behavior on Ubuntu 20.04.

Please log any issues you find. Don't forget to run in DEBUG mode if you need to submit an issue (and log files). Also, please note that you are running 2.2_dev in your issue.
