Updating an existing EasyBuild installation
-------------------------------------------

To upgrade to a newer EasyBuild version (say, *x.y.z*) than the one currently installed (say, *a.b.c*), there are several options:

(i) (re)bootstrap EasyBuild to obtain an EasyBuild/x.y.z module to load, using the instructions above, see :ref:`bootstrapping`.
(ii) install EasyBuild x.y.z with a previous version of EasyBuild, using the easyconfig file available `on the develop branch at Github <https://github.com/hpcugent/easybuild-easyconfigs/tree/develop/easybuild/easyconfigs/e/EasyBuild>`__
(iii) install EasyBuild x.y.z from PyPI, using one of the standard Python installation tools (easy_install, pip, ...)
(iv) update your Git working copies of the different EasyBuild repositories
