The Updater for xTuple ERP (PostBooks, Standard Edition, and Manufacturing Edition) is an application that enables you to update your database from one release to the next, to upgrade from one xTuple ERP edition to another, such as from PostBooks to Manufacturing Edition, and to load supplements developed by third parties into your xTuple database.
An update Package is a collection of files bundled together into .gz files. The Updater reads and processes this package of files in order to update the database.
To update xTuple ERP you will need both the Updater application and the appropriate update Package.
- Getting the Updater
To get the Updater application, go to the SourceForge downloads page for PostBooks and click on the version for your OS.
- Getting the update Packages
- If you use PostBooks, get the update packages from the databases section of the SourceForge downloads page for PostBooks. The filename will show the number of the version you are updating from and to (eg. "pb3102to320.gz")
- If you are an OpenMFG or Standard Edition user, go to the xChange, which shows a list of releases and, for each release, a collection of sample database backups and update packages.
