How to Update from v3.2 (Instrument Windows Computer)¶

Preparation¶

You will need these myami subpackages from the branch you want from our git repository.

Name:	Purpose:
leginon	modular TEM image acquisition
pyami	general functions
sinedon	database interaction

No internet access - copy from linux Leginon workstation the python files.¶

If your Windows computer has no access to internet, copy from your linux processing server the git clone of myami super package of the right branch for the installation which you used to upgrade there.

See Acquiring NRAMM GIT Repository files for different examples and match the repository with what you do on the Linux side.

OR

With internet access¶

Install Git-for-Windows¶

We have switched to git revision control recently. If you want to install the newest changes, you need to use the files from git repository.

You can clone our repository with

Name:	Download site:
git for Windows	https://git-for-windows.github.io

• During the installation, select "Checkout as-is, commit as-is" option at the step regarding automated translation of CRLF and LF line endings if you are a developer and may commit changes.
• Default is fine with the rest of the options.

Clone the proper branch from git repository¶

Start Git Bash Window¶

• Right Click at the folder where it will contain your clone and choose "Git Bash Here" to start the shell window.

• With Windows XP "Git Bash Here" does not appear with right-click. In this case, you can start git bash from Start menu/Programs/Git/Git Bash and move the folder created to where you want it to be.

To checkout (called clone in git) the package from NRAMM:
See Acquiring NRAMM GIT Repository files for different examples and match the repository with what you do on the Linux side.¶

Install¶

Move the cloned folder according to your environment variable PYTHONPATH if you use that during the original installation.¶

OR
