Brass User Guide: Installing Brass
Installing Brass is very easy. Just download
the setup package and run it. You'll be taken through the installation
step by step. It will only take a few seconds and it's not complex
at all.
Upgrading Brass
If you already have Brass installed and you're
upgrading to a new version it's just as easy. Download and run the
setup package as normal. The Brass installer will pick up the options
you used for the previous installation and use them again. Remember
to exit Brass before starting the installer - you'll be warned if
Brass is still running when you try to upgrade.
All the Brass program files will be updated automatically.
When a configuration file is found (for example, the NewsGrinder
"availablefeeds.txt" that stores all the RSS feeds you
have created), you will be asked whether you want to overwrite it.
Answer "No" and your existing feeds will be left alone.
Answer "Yes", and your existing feeds will be reset back
to the defaults.
The installer also makes a backup of any configuration
files it thinks you might want. For example, when Mime and NewsGrinder
are updated a copy is made of all your .NFO files (for your Mime
custom actions) and your availablefeeds.txt (for your NewsGrinder
RSS feeds). These backups are stored in <Brass Install Folder>\Plugins\<Plugin
Name>\Backup. If you want to restore the backups, just copy them
into the plugins folder.
