#*Similarly, the MX package contained obsolete vintage version 2.1.4 (2015-03-10) of Highstocks and Highcharts, so I downloaded latest versions from [https://www.highcharts.com/blog/download/ the Highstock link] on this page. I then created a new folder obsolete at "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock\js", moved the folders "modules" and "themes" that were there in my new folder, and the various highstock and highchart files that were there were moved into the obsolete folder. Now I navigated to the code folder within that download, copied the files within it to "\CumulusMX\interface\lib\highstock\js" and then copied the folders "modules" and "themes" from that code download folder into the same location. So now (in March 2020) everything is related to version 8.04 released 10 March 2020.
#The locale I used for Cumulus 1 is going to be the same I will use for MX (same PC!) so my copying across of my existing files should be fairly easy:
#*Next, I copied my existing Cumulus 1 alarm sounds in "\Cumulus" across to MX folder "\CumulusMX\interface\sounds" as these were
#* I copy '''\Cumulus\Cumulus1.ini''' to ''\CumulusMX'' folder as "Cumulus.ini". I then edit the MX "Cumulus.ini" file:
#** In the '''[Alarms]''' section (your Cumulus.ini may have sections in a different order to mine) I edit all the parameter lines where the attribute ends in "File" to reflect their MX location in the sounds folder (there is no such folder in Cumulus 1).
#**In the "'''[FTP site]'''" (yes, mine was named correctly with second word all lowercase), I had a number of edits to make:
#**# I change any references to web pages within "Cumulus" folder to say within "CumulusMX" folder.
#**# I also have some of my web pages generated from my own Cumulus templates. All the web tags in these that use date-time specifiers had to be edited, because I want to still use Cumulus 1 until MX is doing all I want, all these templates were given new names and I had to adjust the entries in "Cumulus.ini" to use these new names.
#**In the "'''[NOAA]'''" section I had '''MonthFileFormat="NOAAMO"MMMyyyy".txt"''' on a line, I checked at [[Webtags#List_of_allowed_modifiers|List of allowed date/time modifiers]] that 'MMM' and 'yyyy' were valid in Cumulus MX as well as in Cumulus 1, they were so no edit needed either to that line or to "YearFileFormat="NOAAYR"yyyy".txt" line.
▲#Next, I copied my existing Cumulus 1 alarm sounds in "\Cumulus" across to MX folder "\CumulusMX\interface\sounds" as these were refenced in my main Cumulus.ini file.
#*The file "\CumulusMX\Reports\.gitignore" is joined in the Reports folder by copying in what I currently have in "\Cumulus\Reports". These are another "Cumulus.ini" and the existing monthly and annual NOAA reports. I don't need to change those file names as I will continue to use the same format (see change to main Cumulus.ini mentioned above).
#*Next I compare "\Cumulus\web" with "\CumulusMX\web", I notice the subfolder "images" has gone, I expected that from what I already know about MX and its use of Highcharts instead of uploading graphs (and the moon image). Also "realtimegaugesT.txt" is only in MX, I expected that knowing the gauges pages supplied with Cumulus 1 and MX are different. I mostly use my own web pages, so I don't worry about the template files.
