Upgrading TrainMyAI

To upgrade to a new TrainMyAI version, please follow the steps below.

• Log in to your server and use cd to navigate to the directory containing the trainmyai directory. Confirm that the command below shows the trainmyai directory's contents:

  ls -l trainmyai

• Use the mv command to rename the existing trainmyai directory, for example:

  mv trainmyai trainmyai-2025-11-14

• Download and install the latest version of TrainMyAI:

  wget https://trainmy.ai/download/trainmyai-1.6.1.tar.gz
  tar -xzf trainmyai-1.6.1.tar.gz

• Copy the configuration file across from the old to new directory:

  cp trainmyai-2025-11-14/config.ini trainmyai/config.ini

• Optional: If you have a license, any custom settings, templates or preprocessors, copy them across as well:

  cp trainmyai-2025-11-14/license.json trainmyai
  cp -R trainmyai-2025-11-14/settings trainmyai
  cp -R trainmyai-2025-11-14/templates trainmyai
  cp -R trainmyai-2025-11-14/preprocessors trainmyai

• If you are using ChatGPT only (remote language models):
  • Open the installation verification page verify-install.php of TrainMyAI in your web browser. For example, https://my-site.com/trainmyai/verify-install.php. This will check that everything is in order and perform any database updates required.
• If you are using Llama 3 (local language model):
  • Check that your server fulfils the additional requirements.
  • If you are using Llama 3 (local language model) for the first time after upgrading, follow the last step of section 1 of the manual installation guide to install prerequisites, then modify the trainmyai/config.ini file by following the last 2 steps of section 4 of the manual installation guide.
  • Whether you are using Llama 3 for the first time or not, use cd trainmyai to enter the TrainMyAI directory, then follow the last step of section 2 of the manual installation guide to download models and install libraries.
  • Open the installation verification page verify-install.php of TrainMyAI in your web browser. This will check that everything is in order and perform any database updates required.
