   29: <h3>Upgrading LON-CAPA files</h3>
   30: <p>
   31: Download the most current
   32: <a href="http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/current/loncapa.tar.gz">
   33: loncapa.tar.gz</a>.
   34: </p>
   35: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   36: <tr><td><tt>wget http://install.lon-capa.org/versions/current/loncapa.tar.gz
   37: </tt>
   38: <br />
   39: <tt>tar xzvf loncapa.tar.gz</tt>
   40: <tt>cd loncapa</tt></td></tr>
   41: </table>
   42: <p>
   43: The <strong>UPDATE</strong> command will refresh your filesystem with all
   44: the latest LON-CAPA software.
   45: </p>
   46: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   47: <tr><td><tt>./UPDATE</tt></td></tr>

   49: <a name="checkrpms" />
   50: <h3>Checking your Linux RPMs</h3>
   51: <p>
   52: The <strong>CHECKRPMS</strong> command will check the RPMs on your machine
   53: against an FTP repository.
   54: </p>
   55: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   56: <tr><td><tt>./CHECKRPMS</tt></td></tr>

   58: <a name="testing" />
   59: <h3>Testing to see if the LON-CAPA server is operational</h3>
   60: <p>
   61: The <strong>TEST</strong> command will check the installation software,
   62: the perl libraries on your system, the MySQL database, and
   63: will also automatically test the real-time operation of the 
   64: LON-CAPA Apache web server.
   65: </p>
   66: <table bgcolor="#aaaaaa" border="1">
   67: <tr><td><tt>./TEST</tt></td></tr>
   68: </table>
   69: <p>
   70: Using the <strong>TEST</strong> command will likely
   71: be an iterative process.
   72: It is normal to expect that the <strong>TEST</strong> command
   73: will recommend you perform various steps to ensure optimal
   74: performance of your LON-CAPA server.
