 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | If you have a searx installation on your sever and want to switch to SearXNG,
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | you need to uninstall searx first.  If you have an old searx docker installation
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | replace your docker image / see :ref:`installation docker`.
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | If your searx instance was installed *"Step by step"* or by the *"Installation
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | scripts"*, you need to undo the installation procedure completely.  If you have
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | morty & filtron installed, it is recommended to uninstall these services also.
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | In case of scripts, to uninstall use the scripts from the origin you installed
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | searx from.
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | If you have removed the old searx installation, clone from SearXNG and and start
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | with your installation procedure (e.g. :ref:`installation scripts`):
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | .. code:: bash
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    $ cd ~/Downloads
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    $ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    $ cd searxng
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    $ ...
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ``.config.sh``
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ==============
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Please take into account; SearXNG has normalized ``.config.sh`` with
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ``settings.yml`` and some of the environment settings has been removed from or
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | renamed in the ``.config.sh``:
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - :patch:`[mod] normalize .config.sh with settings.yml <f61c918d>`
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - :patch:`[fix] ./utils/filtron.sh - FILTRON_TARGET from YAML settings <7196a9b5>`
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | - :patch:`SearXNG: SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH <253b8503>`

							|  |  |  | Check after Installation
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ========================
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Once you have done your installation, you can run a SearXNG *check* procedure,
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | to see if there are some left overs.  In this example there exists a *old*
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ``/etc/searx/settings.yml``::
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |    $ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install check
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |

							|  |  |  | To *check* the filtron & morty installations, use similar commands::
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   $ sudo -H /utils/filtron.sh install check
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  |   $ sudo -H /utils/morty.sh   install check
