Upgrading a Linux installation v13

Upgrading from RPM installations

If you have an existing EDB ODBC connector RPM installation, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade your repository configuration file and update to a more recent product version. To update the edb.repo file, assume superuser privileges and enter:

• On RHEL or CentOS 7:

  yum upgrade edb-repo

• On RHEL or Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 8:

  dnf upgrade edb-repo

yum or dnf will update the edb.repo file to enable access to the current EDB repository, configured to connect with the credentials specified in your edb.repo file. Then, you can use yum or dnf to upgrade any installed packages:

• On RHEL or CentOS 7:

  yum upgrade edb-odbc

  yum upgrade edb-odbc-devel

• On RHEL or Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux 8:

  dnf upgrade edb-odbc

  dnf upgrade edb-odbc-devel

Upgrading from Debian/Ubuntu installations

If you are upgrading from an earlier Debian/Ubuntun installation, run the install command and specify the version number in the package name. For example:

sudo apt-get install edb-odbc=13.02.0000.02-1.bionic

If you get a message about downgrading, you can ignore it.
