Cumulus Support

Just a quick question regarding updating Mono on my Raspberry Pi (P4 running Buster).

Can you simply use - "sudo apt install mono-complete" and allow it to overwrite or am I being too simplistic?


Thanks

It will be updated if you update Raspbian.
Run the commands:

Thanks for this. I have run the 'full-upgrade', (as I do every so often) and checked the mono version with 'mono --version' and have this version '5.18.0.240'.

I dont think this is the latest version as mentioned in the CMX latest update which mentions 'v6.12 or later for e-mail support'.

Is it worth keeping mono up to date? if so how do I update to the latest version.

Thanks

Martyn

5.18 is probably the latest version that the Buster maintainers have included in their distribution. You will have to change your package manager to pull in a later version direct from the Mono maintainers. I did this at the weekend with my Ubuntu distribution, which uses the same package manager as Buster. I used the following guide and found it easy to do:

Strange, I am running Buster and have latest version of mono.

Thanks Freddie, I think I'll leave it be. I'm not that confident yet. Don't want to bugger it up.
