Riak has great documentation on how to upgrade Riak if it was initially installed via a package ( http://docs.basho.com/riak/1.2.1/cookbooks/Rolling-Upgrades/ ). But how do you upgrade Riak if you originally downloaded/installed it from source?
The current version of Riak I'm using is 1.0.
It's pretty much the same except in step 3 instead of
sudo dpkg -i <riak_package_name>.deb
you just download the tarball with new version and install it as you did first time.
But frankly speaking in 99% cases it's easier to do it via packages. I believe you can upgrade to packaged version from manually installed one by following their rolling update instructions precisely.

I am aware how to silently install 'R for Windows', but how could I update an existing installation silently to a new version?
Install switches I am currently using:
\\foo\R\R_4.0.5\R-4.0.5-win.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /ALLUSERS /LANGUAGE=en /COMPONENTS="main, x64, translations" /DIR="C:\Program Files\R"
For me, it seems like there is no supported update/upgrade switch. Just installing a new version over an existing one results in just having 2 versions listed in appwiz.cpl.
Forcing the same install dir is not helping either, as you still end up with 2 installations, just in the same folder.
Any hint is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
UPDATE:
I am trying to keep the installations on several machines aligned - therefor it would be helpful to update all machine installations periodically to the latest version and ensure the software inventory solution is not reporting N versions on a single machine.
R is designed so that you can have multiple versions installed simultaneously. This is why each version installs into a different directory.
The canonical way to handle this is to check a registry key for the latest installed version, but if you want to avoid messing with the registry, you can try this:
Install into a custom directory
When it comes to upgrading, move that directory to a temporary location
Install the newer version into the original location
If it works, delete the temp location
If it doesn't, delete the failed install and restore the original
Caveat: untested.
I have configured Julia portable or standalone according to the link:Julia portable or standalone
But I want to update to the latest version of Julia 1.5.1.
How to proceed?
Should I add all the packages again?
Is there a way to import it to the new version?
Julia does not support version upgrade. It perhaps might work for some packages but you are always risking to running into issues.
Hence you need to delete the .julia folder (or set a new JULIA_DEPOT_PATH location which is configured by system variable) and just reinstall all the packages.
However if you for some reason strongly want to reuse the .julia folder you can try:

I am planning to upgrade artifactory-pro from 4.14.2 to 5.7. Has anyone done this so far? We use npm, bower, debian, yum repositories. Any recommendation or insight is appreciated.
As I see it, the upgrade depends on two main factors:
Your installation type(ZIP/RPM/RPM OSS/Debian/Docker). Here you can find detailed instructions for each type:
ZIP installation
RPM installation
RPM OSS installation
Debian installation
Docker installation
In case you use an HA cluster, here are the instructions.
While no special operations are required except those are mentioned in the instructions - please pay attention to updates and other special instructions since there are specific instructions to upgrading from Artifactory 4.x to 5.4.x and above. As can be seen here (for example).
Like in any other upgrade process, make sure you have a full system backup (Artifactory configuration, metadata, and artifacts)
I have deployed graphite with nginx some time ago, with chef, but didn't froze versions to be installed. Thus now, trying to install with the same recipe i get errors because of missing something related to versions.
I need to find what version of Graphite I have installed on my other CentOS machines, to be able to figure out how to repair recipe.
Thank you.
Gabriel
If you have web access to the Graphite installation, you can also see the currently running version under the /version/ path.
I had the same issue. I solved it running a pip list, which displays every package you installed with pip. You can also run pip show graphite-web or pip show whisper to get more specific information.
I'm trying to use prudentia to install postgresql. On the latest version of the develop branch, there is a task for posgresql, but that installs the wrong version for me.
I have found here that I need a special apt repository to get the latest (9.3) version. But I need some help installing it from prudentia.
I did see some example in code, but I couldn't find anything about adding repositories in the docs. How should I solve this?
To add an apt repository there are two ways.
1) The simplest one is to use the Ansible apt_repository module that requires the python-apt package installed on the target machine. This module accepts both deb and ppa repositories style.
A Prudentia task for installing PostgreSQL has been provided using this method and can be found here.
2) The second is to provide an apt source file. This approach doesn't have any dependency. The Prudentia Chrome bundled task uses this approach.
