Hi, You will need to remove all traces of the old version to avoid problems.
The location of the downloaded tarball should not matter according to the projects build instructions (see the README text at the bottom). You can build it in your home partition with normal user permissions. The "make install" step is where you will probably need "sudo" for permission to install it (normally under /usr): https://github.com/iurie-sw/geonkick It is a pretty standard make & make install build system with cmake. Although you need to build the Redkite GUI toolkit first. I copy the instructions here: On Debian, Ubuntu, Ubuntu Studio install: build and install first Redkite, than: apt-get install build-essential apt-get install cmake apt-get install qjackctl libjack-dev libsndfile-dev apt-get install rapidjson-dev apt-get install lv2-dev Build & install Geonkick Clone the Geonkick code repository, compile and install git clone https://gitlab.com/iurie-sw/geonkick.git mkdir geonkick/build cd geonkick/build cmake ../ make make install Have you considered requesting that it is packaged for Debian to make it easy for everyone to install it in the future? Debian packages will eventually migrate to Ubuntu. It looks like it is Free software - GPL-3. https://wiki.debian.org/RFP On 25/05/2020 21:15, Yves Yves wrote: > Aloha Amigos. > > We got Geonkick (Version *1.9.0*) thanks to UNFA's U-Tube video > instructions (starting at 20:16); > /https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtWSnbmdB9w/ > > Now we would like to update that Geonkick version to the latest > (*2.1.1*) but this must be done with the tarball, which we downloaded > from GitHub ; > /https://github.com/iurie-sw/geonkick/releases/ > > & extracted into a folder we made via the terminal called ; ( > */usr/local/src* ) > > btw; The previous Geonkick Version *1.9.0* appears to be located in the > folder called; ( */usr/lib/lv2/geonkick.lv2/* ) *?* > > We also prep'ed our system for making packages by running; > > |sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall sudo apt-get install > cvs subversion git-core mercurial sudo chown $USER /usr/local/src sudo > chmod u+rwx /usr/local/src | > > Due to a lack of knowledge, now we are STUCK & don't know how to proceed > .
