InstallCMX thread

From Cumulus MX version 3 build 3044 the development baton passed to Mark Crossley. Mark has been responsible for all the Builds since, and has recently released Cumulus MX version 4. He has made the code available on GitHub. It is Mark's hope that others will join in this development, but at the very least he welcomes your ideas for future developments (see Cumulus MX Development suggestions).

InstallCMX thread

Post by VTHokie74 »

Xposting from the build 4027 topic:

Has anyone used the InstallCMX utility to upgrade to build 4027 on Linux?. I used it before to upgrade from 4023 that came with the image file to 4025. It worked fine. Now when I try to upgrade to 4027 this is what I see:
cmx@cumulusmx:~/InstallCMX $ dotnet ./InstallCMX.dll 4027
2024-07-28 08:20:29 CMX multiplatform installer Version 2.0.0 - (c) Hans Rottie r
CMX multiplatform installer Version 2.0.0 - (c) Hans Rottier
2024-07-28 08:20:29 CommandLineArgs : starting
2024-07-28 08:20:29 CommandLineArgs : Build number to install - 4027
2024-07-28 08:20:29 Running on : Unix
Found an installation on: /home
2024-07-28 08:20:29 No Archive to install found... nothing to do... Exiting.
I copied the 4027 zip file over to the directory with InstallCMX. Since I am running using the RP image my installation directory is /opt/CumulusMX/ There is nothing in /home except I set up /home/cmx/InstallCMX/ as the directory for InstallCMX. I also tried running the same command with sudo in front of it. The results were the same.

Lesson learned: On future upgrades I will delete all the old build zip files and copy over the one I want to to the /InstallCMX directory. Then I will run the routine with no command line arguments.

I just figured it out. I think the build number of 4027a with the "a" on the end was causing the issue. I ran InstallCMX with no command line argument and it found the correct zip file to install.
