Updating SVR.JS

Using SVR.JS updater (included in SVR.JS installer package; GNU/Linux only)

If you installed SVR.JS using installer packages in April 5, 2024 and later, you can just run sudo svrjs-updater command to update SVR.JS to latest version. Once the update is done, restart your server OS or type systemctl start svrjs or /etc/init.d/svrjs start to restart SVR.JS.

For older installer packages, SVR.JS can be updated using SVR.JS updater by changing working directory to one containing SVR.JS updater, and running sudo bash updater.sh (make sure svrjs.zip file contains new version of SVR.JS). Once the update is done, restart your server OS or type systemctl start svrjs or /etc/init.d/svrjs start to restart SVR.JS.

Using create-svrjs-server tool

SVR.JS can be updated using create-svrjs-server tool by changing working directory to one containing SVR.JS, and running one of those commands:

• create-svrjs-server lts - Latest SVR.JS LTS version
• create-svrjs-server latest - Latest SVR.JS version
• create-svrjs-server 3.6.1 - SVR.JS 3.6.1 (replace 3.6.1 with your desired version)

Then you can run node svr.js or bun run svr.js to extract new version of SVR.JS and new Node.JS modules.

Manual updating

SVR.JS can be updated manually by extracting svr.js, modules.compressed and svr.compressed files from archive containing new version of SVR.JS to directory, to which older version of SVR.JS is installed (if you installed SVR.JS using SVR.JS installer, it is /usr/lib/svrjs). Then you can run node svr.js or bun run svr.js to extract new version of SVR.JS and new Node.JS modules.
