How to update to MazeMap LIPI v. 4.0.1

MazeMap has released a new and improved LIPI indoor positioning software called LIPI 4.0.1. The process of updating to the newest LIPI version is simple and straightforward if you have access to the correct services, and your existing LIPI server is connected to the internet. (If your LIPI server is not connected to the internet, you can do please go follow the steps in this installation guide.) You will need to involve someone with access to the LIPI server and that preferably has experience with SSH and linux when performing this update. For more detailed information about the LIPI installer, have a look at the this description.

For this update MazeMap has implemented a new tool that will:

download and update the LIPI for you;
make sure to use the current configuration running in your LIPI; and,
create a copy of the last working version so that you are able to go back to that version if there are any issues during the install.

This guide will explain what needs to be done Step-by-step to install the LIPI.

Time needed: 30 minutes.
