I'm pretty inexperienced with Linux and only know some of the basics for BYOND hosting. I've updated BYOND on my server before, and I remember having a difficult time with it and fear it may have not been done the best way.

Considering the above, how long its been since then, and that I need to update the servers BYOND again I've come here with a question.

Can I simply delete the BYOND Folder on my shell server, and replace it with the one I get from the Linux Zip download to update? I'd prefer to do this rather than run some sort of uninstaller or installer on the server.

If I do need to run those, I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me a quick step-by-step on how. If I recall correctly my server is running debian 32 bit, if that has any impact on this.

A.T.H.K	Just do the make over the top, don't delete anything it will replace the important files like DreamDaemon. So depending on how you did the make when you installed just do that again make here make install [EDIT] you can check the versions of DD by running, DreamDaemon -version

Toddab503	Ah, thanks for the quick response. It turned out to be a lot easier than I expected.
