How do I upgrade my software to v0.11.0.0?

Question

I've been running CLI v0.10.3.1 and GUI Beta 2. How do I update these to v0.11.0.0?

Answer 1

CLI:

If you are using the CLI you ought to perform the following steps:

1. Download the new binaries from here.

2. Extract the new binaries to a new directory of your liking.

3. Copy over the wallet files from the old directory (the one that contains the v0.10.3.1 binaries).

Note that a blockchain resync is not needed. If you open monerod-v.0.11.0.0 it simply picks up where it left off.

GUI:

If you are using the GUI you ought to perform the following steps:

1. Download the new binaries from here.

2. Extract the new binaries to a new directory of your liking.

3. Open monero-wallet-gui^1. It should automatically load your "old" wallet.

(1) On Linux you ought to start the GUI with the start-gui.sh script.
