How to Update SillyTavern
|
|
|
|
The most recent version can be found here: https://docs.sillytavern.app/usage/update/
|
|
|
|
This is not an installation guide. If you need installation instructions, look here:
|
|
https://docs.sillytavern.app/installation/windows/
|
|
|
|
This guide assumes you have already installed SillyTavern once, and know how to run it on your OS.
|
|
|
|
Linux/Termux:
|
|
|
|
You definitely installed via git, so just 'git pull' inside the SillyTavern directory.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
You can also try running the 'UpdateAndStart.bat' file, which will almost do the same thing. (Windows only)
|
|
Alternatively, if the command prompt gives you problems (and you have GitHub Desktop installed), you can use the 'Repository' menu and select 'Pull'.
|
|
The updates are applied automatically and safely.
|
|
|
|
If you are a developer and use a fork of ST or switch branches regularly, you can use the 'UpdateForkAndStart.bat', which works similarly to 'UpdateAndStart.bat',
|
|
but automatically pulls changes into your fork and handles switched branches gracefully by asking if you want to switch back.
|
|
|
|
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 for your OS to install the NodeJS requirements.
|
|
|
|
4a. Updating 1.12.0 and above
|
|
|
|
Copy the user data directory from your data root into the data root of the new install.
|
|
|
|
By default: /data/default-user
|
|
|
|
4a. Migrating from <1.12.0 to >=1.20.0
|
|
Copy the following files/folders as necessary(*) from your old ST installation:
|
|
|
|
- Assets
|
|
- Backgrounds
|
|
- Characters
|
|
- Chats
|
|
- Context
|
|
- Groups
|
|
- Group chats
|
|
- Instruct
|
|
- movingUI
|
|
- KoboldAI Settings
|
|
- NovelAI Settings
|
|
- OpenAI Settings (Chat Completion API)
|
|
- TextGen Settings (Text Completion API)
|
|
- QuickReplies
|
|
- Themes
|
|
- User Avatars
|
|
- Worlds
|
|
- User
|
|
- settings.json
|
|
- secrets.json <---- This one is in the base folder, not /public/
|
|
|
|
(*) '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.
|
|
Paste those items into the /data/default-user folder of the new install.
|
|
|
|
5. Start SillyTavern once again with the method appropriate to your OS, and pray you got it right.
|
|
|
|
6. If everything shows up, you can safely delete the old ST folder.
