Step 2: check installation
After installation, please validate the install by running sudo /usr/bin/passenger-config validate-install
. For example:
Copy$ sudo /usr/bin/passenger-config validate-install * Checking whether this Phusion Passenger install is in PATH... ✓ * Checking whether there are no other Phusion Passenger installations... ✓
All checks should pass. If any of the checks do not pass, please follow the suggestions on screen.
Step 3: update regularly
Passenger updates and system updates are delivered through the APT package manager regularly. You should run the following command regularly to keep them up to date:
Copy$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade
After an update, you should restart all your Passenger instances so that the updates take effect.
