Update easyBTX

The easiest one: easyBTX on Mac updates itself. It checks for new versions and installs them on its own. You can also force a check in Settings → Updates → Check for updates. Your wallet, payout address and settings stay exactly as they are.

For the standard Windows build, updating is a quick reinstall: download the latest installer from the home page and run it over your current install. It keeps your wallet, payout address and settings. That is the whole update.

This is the big one: from v0.9.7, easyBTX updates itself on Linux and WSL2 too, exactly like the Mac. It checks for new versions and installs them on its own - new mining engines included - so once you are on it, there is nothing to run. You can force a check any time in Settings → Updates → Check for updates, and your wallet, payout address and settings always carry over. Every update is cryptographically signed and verified before it installs.

Switch to the self-updating build (one time)

Installed easyBTX before v0.9.7 (the old .deb)? Do this once to move onto the self-updating build. Open your Ubuntu (WSL2) window - or any Linux terminal - and paste this single line. It downloads, makes it runnable, and launches:

wget -O ~/easyBTX.AppImage https://github.com/MendeMatthias/EasyBTX-releases/releases/download/v0.9.9/easyBTX_amd64.AppImage && chmod +x ~/easyBTX.AppImage && ~/easyBTX.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run

After that first run you are done forever - easyBTX keeps itself current and you never paste an update command again. To simply open it later, run ~/easyBTX.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run. If the window does not appear, run LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 ~/easyBTX.AppImage --appimage-extract-and-run instead.
