Important Details (2023):

1. Since the qortal-ui repo has been restructured there are now 2 sets of scripts.

    - Post 2023 repo change scripts prefixed with nothing
    - Pre 2023 repo change scripts prefixed with "prc2023"

2. If a clean install is preferred, and it is suggested, the following procedural flow must be followed based on the indicated situation

   • If doing a fresh install

     • Ensure nodeJS is not already installed via APT as it will not be an LTS release

           Sudo apt purge nodeJS
       

   • If updating for the first time since the repo re-orginization

     • Ensure nodeJS is not already installed via APT as it will not be an LTS release Sudo apt purge nodeJS
     • Run the prc2023unintall_ui.sh script to remove the qortal-ui install that was previously the normal installer
     • Run the update_install_ui.sh script to install the qortal-ui

3. Finish up by re-installing curl

       sudo apt install curl
   

Important Details (2022) (Deprecated):

1. Since the UI repo has changed from "UI" to "qortal-ui" there are now 2 sets of scripts.

    - Pre repo change prefixed with "prc"
    - Post repo change prefixed with nothing

2. If a clean install is preferred, and it is suggested, the pre repo change uninstaller should be utilized before utilizing the post repo change installer.
