Installing/upgrading via git

The latest stable commit is tagged 2.9.6 on the master branch. If you’ve never cloned leihs via Git, you can get a fresh copy like this:

git clone git://github.com/psy-q/leihs.git leihs cd leihs git checkout -b my_leihs 2.9.6

If you already have a “leihs” directory with a Git clone of leihs, you can update your version like this, inside your leihs directory. Make sure to have a backup copy of your configuration files before starting this (config/database.yml, config/environment.rb, config/LDAP.yml).Alternatively, you could just store those files outside your leihs directory and symlink them into it, so that git mostly ignores them.

git fetch git checkout my_leihs git merge 2.9.6 RAILS_ENV=production rake db:migrate

This is for a production environment. If your copy of leihs is in development mode, you can leave off the RAILS_ENV=production. Please let us know if you run into problems with these instructions.
