.. note::

Some ARTIQ examples also require matplotlib and numba, and they must be installed manually for running those examples. They are available in Conda.

Upgrading ARTIQ
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
Upgrading ARTIQ (with Nix)
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Run ``nix-channel --update`` to retrieve information about the latest versions, and then either reinstall ARTIQ into the user environment (``nix-env -i python3.6-artiq``) or re-run the ``nix-shell`` command.
|
||||
|
||||
To rollback to the previous version, use ``nix-channel --rollback`` and then re-do the second step. You can switch between versions by passing a parameter to ``--rollback`` (see the ``nix-channel`` documentation).
|
||||
|
||||
You may need to reflash the gateware and firmware of the core device to keep it synchronized with the software.
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrading ARTIQ (with Conda)
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When upgrading ARTIQ or when testing different versions it is recommended that new Conda environments are created instead of upgrading the packages in existing environments.
|
||||
Keep previous environments around until you are certain that they are not needed anymore and a new environment is known to work correctly.
