Reinstalar o actualizar Ancestris (STL)

Hay varias situaciones en las que es posible que deba reinstalar Ancestris, pero todas terminan siguiendo los mismos pasos que se describen a continuación.

Situaciones que justifican la reinstalación

Reinstalar Ancestris en el mismo equipo
  • Si  existe una nueva versión de Ancestris y desea beneficiarse de ella. Por ejemplo, actualizar de la versión 10 a la versión 11.
  • Si hubo una modificación importante de la misma versión, por lo general la versión diaria. Por ejemplo, cuando el equipo de Ancestris realice cambios en la plataforma Ancestris, le pedirán que vuelva a instalar. Para recibir una notificación de dichos cambios, deberá suscribirse a la lista de distribución.
  • Si se ha producido un cambio en su equipo o si se han perdido algunos archivos de Ancestris. En esta situación, Ancestris podría ya no funcionar correctamente.

En todas esas situaciones, su acción deberá ser la reinstalación de Ancestris.

When reinstalling Ancestris, you will automatically be able to preserve your customizations.

It is up to you to decide if you want to reinstall Ancestris at the same location on your computer or not.
In either case, we recommend you to get rid of the former Ancestris instance and replace the Software files.
In case you were to keep two different instances of Ancestris on the same computer, Ancestris might get confused as there is only one set of user settings.

 

Reinstalling Ancestris on a second computer

If you are to install Ancestris on a second computer, just proceed as a regular first-time installation.

If you want to have the same user settings on both computers, you should first copy the user settings folder from one computer to the other one.

Alternatively, you can also use the export button of the Ancestris preferences window.

 

Reinstalling stable version 10

To reinstall the main version, while preserving your user settings, just proceed as a regular first-time installation.

It should be much quicker as Java should already be installed and your Ancestris launcher is already set.

In practice, it will consist of simply replacing the 5 folders described in the following steps.

 

Reinstalling daily version 11

To upgrade from the main version to the daily version, or reinstall the daily version, while preserving your user settings, follow the steps below.

  • Quit Ancestris, if it is running
  • Download the daily version from the Ancestris web site and decompress the ZIP file
  • Go to the ancestris folder of the previous installation
  • Delete the following 5 folders
    • ancestris
    • bin
    • etc
    • harness
    • platform
  • Replace them with the recently downloaded corresponding 5 folders
  • Restart Ancestris as usual

In case some settings no longer work, or are not compatible with the new version, please refer to the User settings page if you want to manage them yourself.
