Upgrade

Upgrading our library in your project

There are two ways to upgrade our library in your project:

• Using Visual Studio's NuGet package manager

• Manual upgrade

You can choose a way to install a package in a way you prefer.

Visual Studio's NuGet package manager

If you're using Visual Studio to build your project, it provides you an easy way to install NuGet packages, such as our libraries, into your project.

1

Open your project

Open Visual Studio to a project that you want to upgrade our libraries.

2

Open the NuGet package manager

Right click on either the project or the Dependencies entry beneath the project in the Solution Explorer pane and select Manage NuGet packages...

3

Search for library updates

Click on Updates. Then, select the desired library you'd like to upgrade, such as Terminaux.

4

Install a library

Click on any of the libraries that show up in the search results, and click on Update.

5

Accept the license

If any package asks for your acceptance of the license, read the license contained by clicking on their license names, then click on I Accept.

6

Verify the upgrade

The package is upgraded! Verify by expanding the Dependencies entry beneath the project and expanding the Packages entry.

Manual upgrade

If you'd like to manually upgrade a NuGet package to a project with your favorite editor or if you're unable to use Visual Studio for some reason, you can use this upgrade method. However, this method comes in two ways:

• Visual Studio

• Text editor

Visual Studio

If you are using Visual Studio, follow these steps:

1

Open your project

Open Visual Studio to a project that you want to upgrade our libraries.

2

Open the project file

Double click on the project as shown in the Solution Explorer pane

3

Update the version in a library reference

Look for the PackageReference property that targets a specific library (for example, Terminaux) and change the Version attribute (replace 8.0.14 with the desired version of the library)

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Terminaux" Version="8.0.14" />
</ItemGroup>

4

Save project and restore packages

Save the project file. It should automatically upgrade the required packages. If, however, the package restoration didn't automatically start, right-click on the solution and select Restore NuGet Packages.

Text editor

If you are using your favorite text editor, such as Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text, follow these steps:

1

Open your project folder

Open the file explorer and navigate to the target project directory that contains the project file (not the solution .sln or .slnx file)

2

Open your text editor

Right-click on the project file -> Open With -> your favorite text editor

3

Update the version in a library reference

Look for the PackageReference property that targets a specific library (for example, Terminaux) and change the Version attribute (replace 8.0.14 with the desired version of the library)

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Terminaux" Version="8.0.14" />
</ItemGroup>

4

Save project and restore packages

Save the project file. Then, open the terminal emulator in your preferred way and execute dotnet restore.
