Plex Upgrade Help

[Alita]

Hello
FreeBSD 12.1 AMD 64
I have installed plex using portmaster and i am aware You can not upgrade Plex with ports? and I had Downloaded the upgrade tar.gz from plex and extracted it
I do not see anyway to make install after extracting it but i see one file that says start.sh

Right now it is running Plex that was installed from ports
and i may want to install the update and could use help please for this
Do i have to deinstall the one installed from ports first?

Who said you cannot upgrade plex with ports? You just need to wait that the update arrives in FreeBSD ports.

(Personally, I use pkg with the latest repository and it's sufficient - and simpler).

As you can see at https://www.freshports.org/multimedia/plexmediaserver, it gets plenty of updates. It may take a while for binary packages to arrive, but as a ports user, you get the update as soon as it appears.

Yes, you need to run make deinstall prior to running make reinstall.
