[Koha] Koha Upgrade to 3.12

[SAIACS, Chief Librarian]

Thanks Tomas for this inf. 

 

We have used one of the live CDs available on the web and installed Koha 3.12.03.000 on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS.

 

I do not know if someone else had done similar upgrades. 

 

let me try and see how it takes us thru this process of upgrade.

 

Blessings,

As I have the same question, should I open a new thread?
My installation was installed using git -for all I can tell, as I got it
ready-made- on Debian, and receives updates with no problem.

 

If you don't know how to upgrade Koha you shouldn't be doing a Git install at all.

 

If you are on Debian/Ubuntu a packages install is recommended [1],

If you wan't/need to stick with your current install method (sources), please use the latest stable tarball releases to get up-to-date sources [2] (instead of Git which might contain stuff not ready for production yet, for instance translation files). Install instructions come with the sources, in the form of a INSTALL.<distribution> text file.

 

Good luck!
