git stash
git pull
git stash pop

If you downloaded greed through the zip archive, you can update it by redownloading the latest version and by moving your config.ini and database.sqlite (if applicable) files to the new folder.

If you plan on accepting Bitcoin payments:

1. Complete merchant setup wizard by clicking on Get Started for Free on Blockonomics Merchants Page.
2. Depending on where you are deploying, you should set the callback URL on Blockonomics merchants page.
   • Testing: http://localhost/callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET (you can use any dummy host in place of localhost, important thing is secret should match the one in config.ini
   • Production: You need a publicly reachable URL like this https://greed.herokuapp.com/callback?secret=YOUR_SECRET
3. Configure settings in config.ini file
   • Set api_key seen on Blockonomics Merchants Page
   • Set secret as YOUR_SECRET
   • For testing, leave use_websockets = True. For production set use_websockets = False
