Hello forum,

Recently I set up a GNS3 lab on Lubuntu 14.04. It was a relatively lengthy operation to get it all working (mainly my own fault), so I would prefer not having to do it again when a new version gets out. My current version is 1.0beta3.dev1. Can I update it using pip when 1.0beta3.dev2 (for example) comes out? If so, how?

Thanks in advance!

The version you've got didn't come from pip at all... The dev versions are from Git. If you want to use the bleeding-edge development code (e.g for bug-fixing etc) the easiest way is to update it using Git, which is what I do.

You'll need a clone of both gns3-server and gns3-gui from GitHub.

If you already have these you can update them using: in both the -server and -gui folders.

To then install these from each folder, just run
==============================================================

To use install a release version from Git:


Replace the tag at the end of the git checkout command with a tag from the tag pages (https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-gui/tags, https://github.com/GNS3/gns3-server/tags)
