There are two ways to update to the latest version of EagleFiler:
Automatic Updating
- Launch your old version of EagleFiler.
- Normally, EagleFiler will automatically check for updates and detect
that a new version is available. If you have turned that feature off or
don’t want to wait for the automatic check:
- Choose Software Update… from the EagleFiler menu.
- Click the Check Now button.
- Click the Download & Install button and follow the on-screen
instructions.
- You may be asked for an administrator password to ensure that incorrect
file permissions on your Mac do not prevent the update from completing,
leaving your Mac in an inconsistent state. The username and password for
the automatic update are the ones for installers and logging into your
Mac. They’re not related to EagleFiler. If you don’t know your password,
you can reset it or update
EagleFiler by following the “Manual Updating” instructions below.
Manual Updating
Go to the EagleFiler Web site and click the Download (Free Trial) button.
Quit EagleFiler.
Replace the old EagleFiler application file with the new one. That is, if
EagleFiler is installed in the Applications folder, drag the new
EagleFiler application icon into the Applications folder and click
Replace when the Finder asks if you want to overwrite the old
version.
Note: If you get an error saying that the file is locked or you do not
have sufficient privileges, drag the old EagleFiler to the trash and
empty it, and then drag the new one into the Applications folder.
Launch EagleFiler.
Mac App Store
If you purchased via the Mac App Store, you should update EagleFiler using the
App Store application.
