| - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you opted for symbolic links to the ''[[dir:exec]]'' and ''[[dir:text]]'' directories, the only file you might need to manually update or merge would be the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]'' file. All the other files should be automatically updated with your ''git pull'' command; you should be able to skip to the final step (''jsexec update''). | - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you opted for symbolic links to the ''[[dir:exec]]'' and ''[[dir:text]]'' directories, the only file you might need to manually update or merge would be the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[custom:text.dat]]'' file.

| - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you did **not** opt for symbolic links, you will need to copy the ''repo/exec'' and ''repo/text'' directories to your ''sbbs/[[dir:exec]]'' and ''sbbs/[[dir:text]]'' directories. | - If you performed a [[dev:Git]] install (e.g. on *nix) and you did **not** opt for symbolic links, you will need to recursively copy the ''repo/exec'' and ''repo/text'' directories to your ''sbbs/[[dir:exec]]'' and ''sbbs/[[dir:text]]'' directories. |

If you see some corrupted text output from the terminal server or some features don't work as expected, skipping this step could be the cause.
