Updating the Himalayan Database for the Macintosh with Wine
There are two ways to update the data in the Himalayan Database for Macintosh users running the database with Wine:
(1)mApply the update files to the currently installed Himalayan Database on your Macintosh computer. This method will preserve any saved search filters.
The Spring 2018 Update through the Autumn-Winter 2023 Update to the Himalayan Database contain the climbing data for the spring 2018 through the spring-summer 2023 seasons as well as additions and corrections for previous data in the Himalayan Database. These updates should be applied in sequential order. The update files are not readable as stand-alone documents without an existing database. You will need to apply them to your current copy of the Himalayan Database installed on your computer. The complete instructions for updating the Himalayan Database using the update files are given in the section "Updating the Database" in Appendix L: Using the Himalayan Database with Wine.
(2)mReinstall the complete package (the current package contains the Spring-Summer 2023 update). In this case you will be replacing the Wine application on your Macintosh. This method is easy to do, but leaves the residual files of the previous Wine application on your Mac (using about 600 mb). These files can be manually deleted if you are concerned about the disk space taken by the old files. Instructions are given in the section “Uninstalling the Database” in Appendix L: Using the Himalayan Database with Wine.
If you wish to preserve any saved search filters, you must first export them to an external file and then reimport them after the Himalayan Database is reinstalled (see the section "Exporting and Importing Filter Sets" in the Himalayan Database Program Guide). |
