Upgrade Instructions
- First update the webwork2 and pg code. For this run
> cd /opt/webwork/webwork2
> git fetch origin
> git checkout develop
> git pull
> cd /opt/webwork/pg
> git fetch origin
> git checkout develop
> git pull
- Update the javascript and css assets for webwork2 and pg with
> cd /opt/webwork/webwork2/htdocs
> npm ci
> cd /opt/webwork/pg/htdocs
> npm ci
- The following perl packages will need to be installed (run
bin/check_modules.pl
to ensure you have all programs/modules)- Archive::Zip::SimpleZip (on Ubuntu install from cpan)
- File::Copy::Recursive (on Ubuntu install libfile-copy-recursive-perl)
- GD::Barcode::QRcode (on Ubuntu install libgd-barcode-perl)
- MIME::Base32 (on Ubuntu install libmime-base32-perl)
- SQL::Abstract (on Ubuntu install libsql-abstract-perl)
- Compare your site.conf file to site.conf.dist, your localOverrides.conf file to localOverrides.conf.dist, your webwork2.mojolicious.yml file to webwork2.mojolicious.dist.yml and update as needed. Most importantly, make sure that the variable $admin_course_id is defined.
- Compare any other files in the
/opt/webwork/webwork2/conf
directory that have been copied from a .dist file and update as needed. - Upgrade the admin course by executing the
upgrade_admin_db.pl
script. - Make sure to upgrade courses from the admin course to relegate changes to the database.
- The imagemagick package may need special configuration for some operating systems. (On Ubuntu just make sure that you have installed the apt repository package, and not the snap.)
