Upgrade and uninstall

Upgrade

Re-run the installer. It shows what is installed, offers to upgrade it, and never deletes notes or workspaces:

Terminal window
curl -fsSL https://dewanshdt.github.io/Storm/install.sh | sh -s -- upgrade

On Windows, run install.ps1 again.

A server installed by hand on Linux upgrades through apt — there is no storm-server upgrade. The package replaces the binary and the web app and leaves /etc/storm/storm.env alone; restart so the new binary is listening:

Terminal window
sudo apt update
sudo apt install --only-upgrade storm-server
sudo systemctl restart storm-server
sudo storm-server status

Upgrade the server and its Runtime Hosts together. New features often need both sides; with an older host the app hides what the host cannot do.

The native apps are separate downloads: install the new build on each device. The web app comes with the server.

Uninstall

Re-run the installer and choose uninstall; your notes are always kept. By hand: sudo apt remove storm-server on Linux, storm-server uninstall on macOS. A Runtime Host is removed with sudo apt remove storm-runtime on Linux, or storm-runtime uninstall on macOS and Windows (add --purge to also remove its state); workspaces are always kept.
