ERA Update Manager

This is the official update manager used in the ERA app (see era.sh)

How it works

Once a new version of ERA is available, the app launches this small program, that will handle the entire update process. This includes:

• Closing the running ERA app
• Downloading the new version for the running operating system
• Setting file permissions
• Deleting the old version of ERA
• Launching the new version of ERA

Building a standalone executable

In order to build this small program into an executable, pyinstaller is being used.

The build parameters are:

$ pyinstaller --onefile --windowed __main__.py

Startup args

In order to run the update manager, you have to pass the absolute path of the ERA app on your machine:

$ ./updater /home/kian/test/era-app-1.10.2.AppImage
