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 *
