Update

You can use the integrated update feature to update your dotfiles to the main or rolling release whenever you want.

Start the ML4W Welcome App. You will see a notification when an update is available. You can start the update or re-installation of the ML4W Dotfiles at any time.

You can force a clean re-installation of the dotfiles by removing the folder ~/dotfiles before starting the installation.

Please note that you can create a backup of your existing configuration with the backup feature of the install script. It's recommended to remove the folder ~/dotfiles only after creating a backup.

Single Command Update

You can also update to the latest version by running the setup script again with

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mylinuxforwork/dotfiles/main/setup.sh)

The script will ask for an installation folder. Please enter a folder name without spaces. The script will create the folder for you and continue with the installation.

You can also install multiple versions of the ML4W Dotfiles in parallel in different folders. You can switch between the folders with the included activation script (only works with > 2.9.5).
