I'm running screen-scraper in a GUI-less environment. How do I update it to the latest version?

When screen-scraper normally updates itself it downloads a zip file from our server, decompresses it, copies the files it contains on top of the existing files, then updates its version number. We have created a Python script that will perform these steps automatically. To use it follow these steps:

1. Stop the server
2. From the directory where screen-scraper is installed issue this command: ./ss_updater.py. This will upgrade screen-scraper to the latest stable version (e.g., 6.0). If you want to upgrade to the latest alpha version use this command: python -u ss_updater.py
3. Wait while the update file downloads and is decompressed.
4. Start the server

To update manually:

1. Use this form to download the update package.
2. Download it to your screen-scarper installation, and unzip. You will need to overwrite any files if prompted
3. Edit your screen-scraper.properties file to reflect the manually set version
