Upgrading the Core Wallet

Updating the Windows and Mac Core Wallet

Shut down your wallet which can take 30-60 seconds.
Download the newest version from terracoin.io.
On Windows run the installer, and on Mac copy over the .app from the dmg to where you installed the TerracoinCore Wallet before (usually /Applications).
Run the new install of the wallet.
Done!

Updating a Masternode

We have created a script to easily update your masternode.

Login as root to your VPS which hosts the masternode and run the code below.

Upgrade ONLY

rm -f trc-updater; curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terracoin/terracoin/master/trc-updater; sudo bash trc-updater

Upgrade or Downgrade

rm -f trc-updater; curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/terracoin/terracoin/master/trc-updater; sudo bash trc-updater -f

This will stop, and update your masternode to the most recent version and start it again.

* NOTE: if you don't have curl you can use wget instead of curl -O *

** NOTE: Make sure your masternode and local wallet versions match and are on the same block, then issue a *start alias* from your local wallet to make sure the protocol is up to date. **

*** NOTE: you should always check your masternode getblockcount against insight to make sure your block count matches, if not issue a reindex ***

Tips

Keep Sentinel up to date

To keep Sentinel up to date on your VPS add this cronjob to your crontab.

0 */4 * * * cd sentinel && git pull > /dev/null

Make sure your masternode restarts if it crashes

To have your masternode restart if it crashes add this cronjob to your crontab.

*/10 * * * * if ! pgrep terracoind > /dev/null; then /usr/local/bin/terracoind -daemon; fi

* NOTE: cronjob are added to the masternode user's crontab, if you used the u3mur4 installer script this is mn1 if you used the Terracoin installer script this is trcmn *

** NOTE: terracoind is in /usr/local/bin, if it's in the current dir use ./terracoind **

*** NOTE: sentinel is assumed to be installed in the user's root, if you used the Terracoin or u3mur4's installer script this is .terracoincore/sentinel *
