hello welcome back to another video on hello welcome back to another video on flare running on Linux right now we're flare running on Linux right now we're flare running on Linux right now we're going to look at how to backup our going to look at how to backup our going to look at how to backup our configs and also how to perform a flare configs and also how to perform a flare configs and also how to perform a flare software update okay so let's take a software update okay so let's take a software update okay so let's take a quick look at uh how we can uh store our quick look at uh how we can uh store our quick look at uh how we can uh store our settings back them up or even bring them settings back them up or even bring them settings back them up or even bring them over to another system bring them into a over to another system bring them into a over to another system bring them into a new system Etc um so for that we're new system Etc um so for that we're new system Etc um so for that we're going to use a relatively new feature going to use a relatively new feature going to use a relatively new feature called profiles you may have already called profiles you may have already called profiles you may have already seen this so if you go system and then seen this so if you go system and then seen this so if you go system and then profiles um at first you will see profiles um at first you will see profiles um at first you will see there's a global profile by default there's a global profile by default there's a global profile by default which will be active and this is how which will be active and this is how which will be active and this is how this particular flare instance is this particular flare instance is this particular flare instance is currently configured um now you will currently configured um now you will currently configured um now you will have a possibility here to have a have a possibility here to have a have a possibility here to have a variety of different profiles uh you variety of different profiles uh you variety of different profiles uh you might have different scenarios uh you might have different scenarios uh you might have different scenarios uh you know set up in the studio and maybe you know set up in the studio and maybe you know set up in the studio and maybe you have a setup out on location or uh have a setup out on location or uh have a setup out on location or uh different jobs that require different uh different jobs that require different uh different jobs that require different uh axes different model movers maybe axes different model movers maybe axes different model movers maybe additional turntables or steeper Motors additional turntables or steeper Motors additional turntables or steeper Motors and maybe you don't want to mix them up and maybe you don't want to mix them up and maybe you don't want to mix them up uh you don't want to keep switching uh you don't want to keep switching uh you don't want to keep switching settings so you could save them as a settings so you could save them as a settings so you could save them as a profile in in that way uh and then you profile in in that way uh and then you profile in in that way uh and then you can even uh download them back them up can even uh download them back them up can even uh download them back them up keep them safe somewhere uh and then keep them safe somewhere uh and then keep them safe somewhere uh and then bring them in uh later so let's take a bring them in uh later so let's take a bring them in uh later so let's take a look at the this here uh so I've already look at the this here uh so I've already look at the this here uh so I've already dup I've already made a copy of this dup I've already made a copy of this dup I've already made a copy of this Global profile and called a turntable Global profile and called a turntable Global profile and called a turntable job um I could even do that again so if job um I could even do that again so if job um I could even do that again so if I hit a duplicate It'll ask me for a I hit a duplicate It'll ask me for a I hit a duplicate It'll ask me for a file name uh so let's say we're going to file name uh so let's say we're going to file name uh so let's say we're going to call this call this call this um backup because um we want to backup um backup because um we want to backup um backup because um we want to backup our our our settings um so there we go so then now settings um so there we go so then now settings um so there we go so then now we have a copy of this profile labeled we have a copy of this profile labeled we have a copy of this profile labeled like so and then uh when we hit set like so and then uh when we hit set like so and then uh when we hit set active then flare will restart into this active then flare will restart into this active then flare will restart into this profile um now what we can also do is we profile um now what we can also do is we profile um now what we can also do is we can download this profile so with this can download this profile so with this can download this profile so with this button here we download it uh so then it button here we download it uh so then it button here we download it uh so then it will open an Explorer window uh let's will open an Explorer window uh let's will open an Explorer window uh let's say we go to the desktop and we then say we go to the desktop and we then say we go to the desktop and we then make this um give this a file name so make this um give this a file name so make this um give this a file name so let's say uh let's say uh let's say uh backup settings uh it will create a zip backup settings uh it will create a zip backup settings uh it will create a zip file file file and then if we now go to the and then if we now go to the and then if we now go to the desktop desktop desktop [Music] [Music] [Music] um then there it is there's our ZIP file um then there it is there's our ZIP file um then there it is there's our ZIP file uh and in Reverse we can also import uh and in Reverse we can also import uh and in Reverse we can also import these settings uh this button here will these settings uh this button here will these settings uh this button here will uh ask me to select uh a saved profile uh ask me to select uh a saved profile uh ask me to select uh a saved profile zip file um let's say we taken this one zip file um let's say we taken this one zip file um let's say we taken this one uh open it will then ask me to uh open it will then ask me to uh open it will then ask me to uh confirm the file name which it takes uh confirm the file name which it takes uh confirm the file name which it takes from the zip file or you can call it from the zip file or you can call it from the zip file or you can call it something else uh whatever you want and something else uh whatever you want and something else uh whatever you want and you add it and there it is uh of course you add it and there it is uh of course you add it and there it is uh of course if you no longer need these settings or if you no longer need these settings or if you no longer need these settings or this particular profile then you can this particular profile then you can this particular profile then you can also delete them like this and that's uh also delete them like this and that's uh also delete them like this and that's uh really a very handy and very simple way really a very handy and very simple way really a very handy and very simple way of saving different uh flavors different of saving different uh flavors different of saving different uh flavors different versions of different configs for uh versions of different configs for uh versions of different configs for uh specific specific specific applications uh and how to basically applications uh and how to basically applications uh and how to basically back them up keep them safe somewhere back them up keep them safe somewhere back them up keep them safe somewhere and bring them in uh as and when and bring them in uh as and when and bring them in uh as and when needed okay so if I want to set one of needed okay so if I want to set one of needed okay so if I want to set one of these as active now I would simply hit these as active now I would simply hit these as active now I would simply hit set active and then flare will restart set active and then flare will restart set active and then flare will restart into that profile with those very good very good so here we can now see that this is the so here we can now see that this is the so here we can now see that this is the active profile I can now change this to active profile I can now change this to active profile I can now change this to suit uh the scenario or or whatever set suit uh the scenario or or whatever set suit uh the scenario or or whatever set of of of um configs that I want to save under um configs that I want to save under um configs that I want to save under this profile um and then even when I this profile um and then even when I this profile um and then even when I restart restart restart flare flare flare um it will start back into the last um it will start back into the last um it will start back into the last known profile so the one that was last known profile so the one that was last known profile so the one that was last used will be the one that flare will used will be the one that flare will used will be the one that flare will restart into go profiles there we go that's still the go profiles there we go that's still the active active active profile okay so let's now take a look at profile okay so let's now take a look at profile okay so let's now take a look at updating flare so first of all I'm going updating flare so first of all I'm going updating flare so first of all I'm going to close flare that I have open and then I'm going to open my file and then I'm going to open my file structure uh I've got my USB stick here structure uh I've got my USB stick here structure uh I've got my USB stick here I have another um app image file that I I have another um app image file that I I have another um app image file that I downloaded from the MR Moko website downloaded from the MR Moko website downloaded from the MR Moko website downloads page going to open my file downloads page going to open my file downloads page going to open my file structure here uh the flare structure here uh the flare structure here uh the flare folder um which has the existing app folder um which has the existing app folder um which has the existing app image uh file in it so I'm going to image uh file in it so I'm going to image uh file in it so I'm going to literally just copy that literally just copy that literally just copy that across um from my USB across um from my USB across um from my USB stick it's going to just take a minute quite a large file 600 minute quite a large file 600 mag just a few moments there we go so now I'm going to moments there we go so now I'm going to Simply launch this and what happens the first time you this and what happens the first time you launch the updated uh app image file uh launch the updated uh app image file uh launch the updated uh app image file uh it will want to install the flare it will want to install the flare it will want to install the flare rout uh so for that you need the uh rout uh so for that you need the uh rout uh so for that you need the uh laptop password or PC password and then laptop password or PC password and then laptop password or PC password and then you hit install rout and then flare you hit install rout and then flare you hit install rout and then flare immediately opens immediately opens immediately opens up um and this is now the later version up um and this is now the later version up um and this is now the later version straight away uh so as you can see it's straight away uh so as you can see it's straight away uh so as you can see it's a lot quicker and a lot simpler to a lot quicker and a lot simpler to a lot quicker and a lot simpler to update flare in Linux uh while this is loading we can Linux uh while this is loading we can just uh take a quick look at the file just uh take a quick look at the file just uh take a quick look at the file structure so um so here's the later file structure so um so here's the later file structure so um so here's the later file now um and that's it now you might want now um and that's it now you might want now um and that's it now you might want to update your to update your to update your um your shortcut here on your favorites um your shortcut here on your favorites um your shortcut here on your favorites bar um if you go back to your bar um if you go back to your bar um if you go back to your applications window um you'll have the applications window um you'll have the applications window um you'll have the flare versions there that you've flare versions there that you've flare versions there that you've installed and you just right click on it installed and you just right click on it installed and you just right click on it and you go add to and you go add to and you go add to favorites um again here in this flare favorites um again here in this flare favorites um again here in this flare folder uh you if you're a regular folder uh you if you're a regular folder uh you if you're a regular updater uh as it were then you can have updater uh as it were then you can have updater uh as it were then you can have as many app image files as you want here as many app image files as you want here as many app image files as you want here uh you might want to keep some of the uh you might want to keep some of the uh you might want to keep some of the recent ones just um you know if in case recent ones just um you know if in case recent ones just um you know if in case you want to might uh might want to you want to might uh might want to you want to might uh might want to switch back um but otherwise uh you can switch back um but otherwise uh you can switch back um but otherwise uh you can obviously uh keep this tidy or however obviously uh keep this tidy or however obviously uh keep this tidy or however you wish uh but you can have as many app you wish uh but you can have as many app you wish uh but you can have as many app image files here as you want um image files here as you want um image files here as you want um obviously don't get confused which one obviously don't get confused which one obviously don't get confused which one is which or which one you're running um is which or which one you're running um is which or which one you're running um but that is pretty much it as far as but that is pretty much it as far as but that is pretty much it as far as updating flare itself on updating flare itself on updating flare itself on Linux okay so that completes our second Linux okay so that completes our second Linux okay so that completes our second video on flare running on Linux showing video on flare running on Linux showing video on flare running on Linux showing how the profiles are used to back up how the profiles are used to back up how the profiles are used to back up your settings and import them and also your settings and import them and also your settings and import them and also how to perform a flare software update
