How to update your OpenAPS rig in the future

You’ve probably heard about all kinds of cool new features that you want to try. If they’re part of the master branch already, you just need to go enable them (usually by re-running the oref0-setup script).

However, if it’s a brand-new feature that’s being tested or is recently added to master, you’ll need to install the new version of oref0 first. By the way, if you want to check which version of oref0 you are currently running, npm list -g oref0 and if you want to check which branch cd ~/src/oref0 and then git branch.

Step 1: Install the new version

Optional: To get on “dev” branch to test even more recently added new stuff

Or, if the feature you want hasn’t been released yet, and you want to test the latest untested development version of oref0, run:

  1. cd ~/src/oref0 && git checkout dev && git pull
  2. npm run global-install

Step 2: Re-run oref0-setup

Now that you’ve updated your oref0 version, you can re-run the oref0-setup script to use it.
