| 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. | |
| 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. | |
| 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. Start SillyTavern once again with the method appropriate to your OS, and pray you got it right. | |
| 7. If everything shows up, you can safely delete the old ST folder. | |
