Installing development builds
63
+
=============================
64
+
To install a development build based on the latest published code, you must first have an existing installation of Hestia available. If you do not have a server configured, please install the latest stable build using the instructions above before continuing.
65
+
66
+
**Development builds should not be installed on systems with live production data.**
For example, to install only the Control Panel itself built from the main development branch (**develop**):
83
+
```bash
84
+
bash hst_autocompile.sh --hestia develop yes
85
+
```
86
+
87
+
**Important:** Updates which have been released via the Hestia package repositories and upgraded through **apt** will replace installations which use the above method.
