One safe command to bring your tutor up to the latest
version. Your work and progress are never touched.
The tutor keeps improving after you install it: clearer teaching,
fixes for things that tripped people up, the odd new trick. Updating
swaps the tutor's own instruction files for the newest ones, and
changes nothing else.
Which version do I have?
The latest version is Version 2.4;
a higher number than yours means you're out of date. To see
yours, ask the tutor in chat ("What version are you?")
and it'll look it up. If it says something older than the version
above (or doesn't know), it's time to update. Or just run the
update command below; it always shows the version you have and the
latest available before doing anything.
How to update.
If your tutor is running, finish up first: type
End lesson, then /exit.
Open your terminal: PowerShell on
Windows (Windows key, type powershell,
Enter), Terminal
on a Mac (⌘ Cmd+Space, type
terminal), or your usual terminal on Linux
(often Ctrl+Alt+T).
Paste the line for your computer and press Enter.
Windows or Mac:
It prints the version you have, the latest available, and (if
they differ) a confirmation when the update is done. Next time you
start your tutor (flt, then tutor), you're
on the new version.
What that command does, in plain words
Checks which versions of the cage and the tutor are on your
computer.
Compares them with the latest on this site.
If anything's older, it asks you first, then downloads the
newest files into place. Nothing else on your computer is
touched - including your lesson progress and anything you've
made with the tutor.
