Before proceeding with the upgrade, make the following preparations:
Verify that you are running version 8.3.x or 9.0.0 or laterx. You can check the current version by opening the About window in the Desktop, where the current version is listed in the Pico Version section. If the system is running an earlier version, you need to upgrade it to an 8.3.x or 9.0.x version first. See the documentation space for the version you are currently running for more information.
Install either Oracle JDK 17 or OpenJDK 17 on the server(s) where the Platform Container and Execution Containers are running.
Verify that the System Requirements are met. If the operating system, or database need to be upgraded, this should be done prior to the upgrade. This has to be done for all machines that are hosting the system.

Create a directory to use when unpacking this release and future releases. For the purpose of these instructions, this designated directory is referred to as the staging directory.
| Note |

...
Note!The staging directory should not be the same directory as the one you created and set up as the MZ_HOME directory. |
Place the *.tgz file from your release delivery into the staging directory.
Use a command line tool, go to the staging directory, and unpack the *.tgz file by running the following command:
Code Block $ tar xvzf <filename>.tgzA directory is then created in the staging directory, containing the software to be installed. For the purpose of these instructions, this directory is referred to as the release content directory.
Now copy the MZ license file into the release content directory.
| Info |

If you are upgrading from 8.3.x, you need a new license file. https://www.digitalroute.com/contact/contact-support/ on getting the MZ license file. |
| Code Block |

$ cp mz.license <release content directory> |
Enter the release content directory and prepare the
install.xmlfile by running the following command:
| Code Block |

$ cd <release content directory>
$ ./setup.sh prepare |
The *.mzp packages have now been extracted, and the install.xml has been extracted into the release content directory. The install.xml file will automatically be populated with information from your existing installation.
