In this article, we will look into the steps to upgrade from Skedler version 5.x to the latest version.
Backup reporting.yml
Before upgrading to the latest version take a backup copy of the reporting.yml file from your current skedler-xg folder.

Navigate to the old skedler-xg package and remove it.
Download the new package from this link.
Unzip Skedler package and navigate to $skedler-home.
Open Windows PowerShell in Run as Administrator mode and navigate to the skedler-xg package.
Restore reporting.yml
Finally replace the backed up reporting.yml file in the new skedler-xg folder.
Start Skedler Manually
In the terminal, start skedler manually by executing the following command from $skedler_home.

Start Skedler as a service (v5.x to v6.0.2)
Run the install_as_service.bat file from the $skedler_home folder by using the following command:
