Migrating from v1 to v2

---

This documentation is deprecated/obsolete. Lute v2 has been replaced by Lute v3, a full Python rewrite. Please see the Lute v3 manual which includes notes on installation. If you have Lute v2, you can easily migrate to v3. Thank you!

Lute v1 used MySQL, but Lute v2 uses Sqlite. It's a significant change.

To port data from v1 to v2:

1. Install the Lute v1 end of life release: v1.3 end of life
2. Export the CSVs from Lute v1 using the new link on the home page
3. Copy the CSVs exported from {your Lute v1}/csv_export into {your Lute v2}/data/csv_import
4. Copy the contents of folder {your Lute v1}/public/userimages into {your Lute v2}/data/userimages
5. If the Lute v2 database is empty, you can import the CSVs using a link on the homepage.
