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 or try::
$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh remve all
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh remve all
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh remve all
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/searxng.sh instance check
============================
SearXNG (check installation)
============================
ERROR: settings.yml in /etc/searx/ is deprecated, move file to folder /etc/searxng/
INFO: SearXNG instance already installed at: /usr/local/searx/searx-src
...
INFO: Service account searx exists.
INFO: ~searx: python environment is available.
INFO: ~searx: SearXNG software is installed.
INFO: uWSGI app searxng.ini is enabled.
INFO searx : merge the default settings ( /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx/settings.yml ) and the user setttings ( /etc/searxng/settings.yml )

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