Release v1.11
This update will break existing installs
the old installer i wrote was a bit fucky wucky and never really let me add new files to the project, solution: new installer
to install the new version
backing up important files
take a backup of the important files from the old steam-presence instance
(following shell snippets are assuming you have steam-presence installed directly in your home directory (the ~ one)
cd
mkdir steamPresenceTempBackups
cp steam-presence/games.txt steamPresenceTempBackups/
cp steam-presence/icons.txt steamPresenceTempBackups/
cp steam-presence/customGameIDs.json steamPresenceTempBackups/
cp steam-presence/config.json steamPresenceTempBackups/
there might be some errors about certain files not existing, as long as it didn't fail copying config.json it should be fine
delete existing install
(this is all assuming you're on linux)
navigate to ~.config/systemd/
and delete both steam-presence.service and default.target.wants/steam-presence.service
cd .config/systemd/user
rm steam-presence.service default.target.wants/steam-presence.service
then delete the old installation folder, assuming it's installed in your home directory
cd
rm -r steam-presence
install the new version
you now need to reinstall steam-presence, this can be done wherever, for example in the home directory
just navigate to where you want to install it by using cd, then install steam-presence by running
git clone https://github.com/JustTemmie/steam-presence.git
then copy the old files you just backed up, into the new installation
cd steam-presence
cp ~/steamPresenceTempBackups/games.txt .
cp ~/steamPresenceTempBackups/icons.txt .
cp ~/steamPresenceTempBackups/customGameIDs.json .
cp ~/steamPresenceTempBackups/config.json .
if you encountered errors copying files earlier, you will also encounter the same errors here, this is fine
running the new installer should finish up the installation
chmod +x installer.sh
./installer.sh
this will also move the files you copied earlier into a new data/ folder, so if you suspect any missing files, you should check there too
delete the temporary folder
if everything seems to be fine, you can now delete the temporary "backup folder"
rm -r ~/steamPresenceTempBackups/
sorry for the complicated update guide, it shouldn't ever be required again in the future :p
