How to Upgrade

Upgrade from previous version of Subspace Desktop

1. Simply uninstall the old application from your computer
2. Download the latest release for your preferred platform (make sure to select "Latest" release with green label and not "Pre-release")
3. Install new version of Subspace Desktop
4. Run the application, it should detect your old plot and continue farming as usual

UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE IN THE RELEASE NOTES:

• You don't need to delete your existing plot
• You don't need to create a new identity
• You don't need to delete the config and log files

Upgrade from CLI (subspace-node + subspace-farmer)

These instructions are for upgrading installation that followed official guide, if you followed unofficial one, ask guide author for proper upgrade steps.

1. Remove old data to free space used by CLI:

   # Replace `FARMER_FILE_NAME` with the name of the node file you downloaded from releases
   ./FARMER_FILE_NAME wipe
   # Replace `NODE_FILE_NAME` with the name of the node file you downloaded from releases
   ./NODE_FILE_NAME purge-chain --chain testnet

   Make sure to replace FARMER_FILE_NAME and NODE_FILE_NAME with actual file names
2. Delete those files FARMER_FILE_NAME and NODE_FILE_NAME
3. Install Subspace Desktop
4. Choose I've run a farmer before and still have my keys on the first screen and use the same reward address (that you used for CLI) there

Development

Prerequisites

• nodejs 14+
• yarn

sudo apt update && sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev \
    build-essential \
    curl \
    wget \
    libssl-dev \
    libgtk-3-dev \
    libappindicator3-dev \
