How to update plugin on local machine?

[Tim Copper]

Hi guys,

How do I update plugin on local machine? Say I have an old multifield plugin. And I download a newer version on Flynax website? How do I update the plugin properly on local machine?
I tried replace the plugin folder and it did not work as intended.

Hello,

- copy the directory with plugin update to /tmp/upload/

- run the following code via your browser console on the plugins page:

plugin.update('PLUGIN_KEY');

Hi Rudi, thank you so much for the info. I understand that for example multifield, I need to download the new plugin version, extract it so it will have the folder: localhost/tmp/upload/multifield

I'm not too sure about the second step:
- run the following code via your browser console on the plugins page:
plugin.update('PLUGIN_KEY');

Did you mean going to localhost/admin/index.php?controller=plugins?

Sorry I'm not familiar with such process
