From a Local Computer (LAN)

Get Updates from a Local Computer (LAN)

What is this method?

Use this method to copy updates from a nearby computer on the same classroom network that already has the necessary files. This avoids the need for multiple internet downloads.

The computer you are pulling from is the “source” machine, and the computer you are pulling to is the “destination” machine.

1. Identify the Source Machine

You will need the hostname or IP address of the source computer. For example, tl-1234.

2. Verify Connection

From the destination machine, make sure you can connect to the source machine.

ping tl-1234.local  # Replace with the source hostname

3. Pull the Component

From the destination machine, run the pull command, pointing to the source machine’s hostname.

# Pull the 'curriculum' component from host 'tl-1234'
tl-comp-pull curriculum tl-1234.local

4. Verify the Download

Check that the component was copied successfully to the destination machine.

Once the process is complete, you have successfully acquired the update files. You can now proceed to install them.
