UpgradingVersion

Upgrading to the latest version

Are you running one of the 2.x versions or older?

• See UpgradeTo300

Are you running a 3.x version?

• If you install using CPAN via CPAN.pm

    perl -MCPAN -e shell                    [as root] 
    o conf prerequisites_policy ask
    install Mail::SpamAssassin
    quit

• If you install using a Linux package installer:

    Debian unstable: apt-get install spamassassin 
    Gentoo: emerge mail-filter/spamassassin

• If you install manually, first download the new version. Then,

    [unzip/untar the archive] 
    cd Mail-SpamAssassin-*
    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make install                            [as root]

• To install as non-root, see SingleUserUnixInstall.
