Updating Actual

Updating Actual

Before starting this step, backup your budget! You can find out how to do that here.

Failure to do this may result in budget loss.

This section focuses on updating the actual-server

Press the start menu or windows key on your keyboard and type cmd

when command prompt appears in the search results, right click it and run it as Administrator

Navigate to the C:\ drive using this command

cd C:\

Assuming you followed this guide before, navigate to the github directory you created to clone actual and then into the actual-server directory

cd github\actual-server

We now need to clone the latest changes made to the actual-server repo, to do this, run the following command from your command prompt:

git pull origin master

Once that is done, run the deployment command to push your changes to fly.

flyctl deploy.

Once that is complete, delete your browsing history and web files.

Load up your budget and if required restore your backup and that is Actual Server updated.
