Upgrade Procedure
1. Download and install the latest version
2. Upgrade VM addons
If your existing version is noted in the Pre-Upgrade Considerations as requiring an addons upgrade, or, if you’re going between major/minor versions of Anka:
- Upgrade the guest addons inside existing VM templates with
anka start -vu
. This opens the VM desktop in a viewer window and allows you to manually launch and install the addons package. - Push the newly upgraded VM templates to registry with
anka registry push {vmNameOrUUID} --tag <newTag>
