Upgrading MoveIt Pro

There are two ways to upgrade the software. If you are only upgrading a minor or patch release version of MoveIt Pro, we recommend the "Upgrade in Place" approach. For major versions we recommend the "Full Reset" approach.

note

Our versioning uses an X.Y.Z syntax where X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z indicates a patch release.

Full Reset (Easy)​

To minimize possible version conflicts, you can do a full reset. This option is ideal if your custom development can easily be combined with our example workspace, or if you have your own workspace.

  • First do a full uninstall. This will delete your ~/moveit_pro folder, so if your workspace is located within it be sure to have it backed up.
  • Then follow the Install MoveIt Pro guide.

Upgrade in Place (Advanced)​

To leave MoveIt Pro workspace and robot config packages unchanged:

  • Perform the minimum uninstall.
  • Run the latest install script from the Install MoveIt Pro guide.
  • Run moveit_pro build to upgrade and re-build your workspace.
  • If performing a major upgrade, reference the Migration Guides in the Release Notes to upgrade your robot config packages through each major release, as there may be breaking changes that require manual migration steps.
