Update Photobooth

Updating Photobooth on Raspbian

Updating from v1.9.x or older version

To update from an old version to v2.x it's recommend to make a clean installalation.

Updating from v2.x to a newer version

If you have the git-version of Photobooth installed:

Make sure you have no local changes, else make sure to commit them (git add --all && git commit -a -m "my local changes") and keep them in a backup branch you can return to later if needed (git checkout -b mybackupbranch).

Run below commands in your terminal:

sudo -u www-data -s
cd /var/www/html
git fetch origin
git checkout origin/stable2
git submodule update --init
yarn install
yarn build
exit

If you're coming from a different git fork of Photobooth

Make sure you have no local changes, else make sure to commit them (git add --all && git commit -a -m "my local changes") and keep them in a backup branch you can return to later if needed (git checkout -b mybackupbranch).

Run below commands in your terminal:

sudo -u www-data -s
cd /var/www/html

Next you need to add my repo as remote:

git remote add andi34 https://github.com/andi34/photobooth

Now fetch the sources, checkout the right branch, install dependencies and build needed files:

git fetch andi34
git checkout andi34/stable2
git submodule update --init
yarn install
yarn build
exit

If you're using the packed Photobooth (zip or tar):

Download latest packed Photobooth (zip or tar) and extract it.
Now open a terminal from that path and type the following: sudo bash update-booth.sh '/var/www/html' (Chang the path if needed)
