There will be times when you will need to update your Admin Tools for Portal version with a newer one. After requesting and being provided with a new build from GEO Jobe, please perform the following steps.
NOTE: This is the minimum steps required for a typical Admin Tools for Portal Setup with no variables, security or other complications to overcome. It is not meant to serve as a comprehensive solution to any and all installation workflows and environments.
Step-by-step guide
- Stop the Admin Tools Server service in your windows services.
- Make sure to back up the old AdminTools folder before replacing the files (NOTE: We suggest COPYING the existing AdminTools folder to a new location, instead of renaming it, just in case you have custom files in your previous install that do not come standard with your build).
- Ensure you are running Node.js version 8x or newer.
- Check the version of Node in command line (node -v)
- If less than version 8.x, run uninstall on your current installed version of Node from the machine (Note: Do Not attempt to install a newer version over the older version).
- Download the latest node.msi from https://nodejs.org. Pick the "recommended for most users LTS" option (default configuration for the install process is fine).
- Extract and replace all the files from the zip file that GEO Jobe has provided you into your existing AdminTools Folder (not the backup).
- Go into IIS, and ensure that the AdminTools folder is still converted to an application.
- Start that service again after the files are copied.
- You should now be running the new version. You can verify this by checking the bottom right corner of the Admin Tools page once you have logged into the tools.
