Upgrading a Linux installation v16
Upgrading from RPM or SLES installations
If you have an existing ODBC Connector installation on a Linux platform, you can upgrade your repository configuration file, which enables access to the current EDB repository. Then you can upgrade to a more recent version of ODBC Connector.
To update the edb.repo file:
# Update your repository configuration file sudo <package-manager> upgrade edb-repo # Upgrade the installed product sudo <package-manager> upgrade edb-odbc sudo <package-manager> upgrade edb-odbc-devel
Where <package-manager> is the package manager used with your operating system:
| Package manager | Operating system |
|---|---|
| dnf | RHEL 8/9 and derivatives |
| zypper | SLES |
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.
