Migration Guide
Section titled “Migration Guide”Use this guide when switching Crona install methods or release channels.
It covers moves between Homebrew, Scoop, the legacy install script, and the crona-beta/stable channels.
Estimated time: 20-30 minutes, depending on how much old state needs to be backed up and cleaned up.
The migration flow is: stop Crona, back up the database, clear the old runtime, remove the old binaries, install the new target, and restore the saved backup. Use the destination-specific guides below for exact commands on Homebrew, Go source installs, or Scoop. If you are moving from a legacy install script, run the latest beta installer once before switching package managers.
The detailed guides live here:
Shared migration flow:
- Stop every running Crona process.
- Download the latest beta release installer script from GitHub Releases.
- Make the installer executable and run it, then choose to overwrite the existing install.
- Run
crona backup. - Remove the runtime directory.
- Remove the installed binaries.
- Install the destination package manager version.
- Run
crona restore <path-to-backup>.
If you are not sure which destination to choose, start with the package manager you want to keep long term:
- Homebrew on macOS and Linux
- Go source installs when you want to keep using
go install - Scoop on Windows
