Upgrade installation

Last modified 20 Jul 2026 05:23 UTC

The upgrade-installation command copies files from the new midPoint distribution to the existing midPoint installation directory, replacing files that already exist. Specify the location of the new midPoint distribution using the --distribution-directory <PATH> option.

By default, the installation directory is determined as the parent directory of the midPoint home directory. To use a different installation directory, specify it using the --installation-directory <PATH> option.

Before replacing existing files, Ninja can back up the files that would be overwritten. To enable this backup, use the --backup-installation-directory option. The backup is created automatically in the installation directory as .backup-<timestamp>.
