How to Update SillyTavern
Windows/MacOS:
Method 1 - GIT
We always recommend users install using 'git'. Here's why:
When you have installed via `git clone`, all you have to do to update is type `git pull` in a command line in the ST folder.
The updates are applied automatically and safely.
Method 2 - ZIP
If you insist on installing via a zip, here is the tedious process for doing the update:
1. Download the new release zip.
2. Unzip it into a folder OUTSIDE of your current ST installation.
3. Do the usual setup procedure with start.bat to install NodeJS requirements.
4. Copy the following files/folders as necessary(*) from your old ST installation:
- Backgrounds
- Characters
- Chats
- Groups
- Group chats
- KoboldAI Settings
- NovelAI Settings
- OpenAI Settings
- TextGen Settings (textgen = ooba)
- Themes
- User Avatars
- Worlds
- settings.json
(*) 'As necessary' = "If you made any custom content related to those folders".
None of the folders are mandatory, so only copy what you need.
**NB: DO NOT COPY THE ENTIRE /PUBLIC/ FOLDER.**
Doing so could break the new install and prevent new features from being present.
5. Paste those items into the /Public/ folder of the new install.
6. Run start.bat once again, and pray you got it right. :)
7. If everything shows up, you can safely delete the old ST folder.
Linux/Termux:
You definitely installed via git, so just 'git pull' inside the SillyTavern directory.
