How to update plugins?

What's the best way to update plugins?

julian

Using npm:

$ npm update nodebb-plugin-markdown

// or sometimes

$ npm install nodebb-plugin-markdown

Keep in mind that most plugins are kept up to date with the latest version of NodeBB, so you might also have to update your NodeBB as well, or else the plugin may not work. If you are unwilling to do so, please ask the plugin author which version is best for your version of NodeBB

I see that Edge has a Restart NodeBB button. 'Be nice to also have an Update Plugins or Update NodeBB button on ACP. I guess implementing the latter takes care of the former.

Yep... one thing at a time. We'll get there soon

@planner Guys this is a really must feature for beginners and nobos like me and other who dont know nothing about CMD commands. You should put it there as a basic thing in admin.

But that's what full service providers are for

Anyways, like Julian said, one step at a time

When we need to update nodebb do you suggest disabling all plugins before ? or it doesn't really matter ?

Tanner

@gaasg that really shouldn't be necessary, but some plugins might be incompatible after an upgrade, you just have to upgrade those or disable them accordingly.
