Updating Levure

Levure is an ongoing project so it is important to keep the copy used in your project updated for bug fixes and improvements.

The Levure framework and utilities are entirely contained in the levure folder in your project folder. The levure folder is a copy of the Levure master on Github. It is a good idea to keep your levure folder current with the latest version of the Levure master.

• 📂 your_project_folder
  • 📁 app
  • 📁 builds
  • 📁 levure

How you update your levure folder depends on whether or not you are using Git.

How to update Levure without Git

If you are updating without Git, the easiest way is to download a copy of the latest Levure master from Github and replace the entire levure folder in your project folder.

1. Go to the Github project: https://github.com/trevordevore/levure.

2. Click the Clone or download button.

3. Click Download ZIP. The levure-master.zip file will be downloaded onto your computer.

4. Unzip levure-master.zip to get the levure-master folder.

5. Move the levure-master folder into your project folder.

6. Delete the old levure folder from your project folder.

7. Rename the levure-master folder to levure.

How to update Levure with Git

If you are using Git to update your levure folder, you can easily update it as a submodule. If you originally created your project using the Levure Setup Assistant with the Git option checked, then your levure folder is already set up as submodule.

To update your levure folder to the latest Github master, open the Terminal application on your computer and change directories into the root of your project folder.

cd <the root of your project folder>

Then update the levure submodule:

git submodule update --remote levure

Now the levure folder in your project is synchronized with the Levure master on Github.
