If you wish to research the documentation on MX to try to resolve your problem yourself, use the entry point of the [[:Category:Cumulus MX]] page for pointers to other Wiki pages connected with MX that may help.
 
If you cannot answer your questions from information in this Wiki (and MX changes so quickly any information here can be very out of date), then use the [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewforum.php?f=4050 correct MX support forum] and the developer or Cumulus community will offer assistance.
 
 
== Current Release ==
===Latest build distribution download===
 
'''IMPORTANT:''' Before installing Cumulus MX v4.0 for the first time, please study and understand [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=22051 this installation guide]
~ Download [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/download/b3282/CumulusMXDist3282.zip Cumulus MX v3.28.5 build 3281, 23-February-2024]
<br>
~ Download [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/releases/download/b3282b4086/CumulusMXDist3282CumulusMXDist4086.zip Cumulus MX v3v4.284.53 build 32814086, 2319-FebruaryMarch-20242025]
 
===Latest MX Source Code===
===Raspberry Pi Image===
 
~ Download 32 bit image: [//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/rpi-CumulusMX-lite-34.284.01.zip Raspberry Pi Image for Cumulus MX 34.284.01 x32]
~ Download 64 bit image: [//{{SERVERNAME}}/Downloads/rpi-CumulusMX-lite-34.284.0_X641_X64.zip Raspberry Pi Image for Cumulus MX 34.284.01 x64]
 
As at April 2022, the image includes Raspberry Pi. O. S. 11 "Bullseye" version of Linux.
# It is of course possible that sometimes the image provided may have issues for you,
#* it is set up so that MX starts running as a service immediately you boot up your Raspberry Pi, rather than letting you first run MX interactively (see [[MX_on_Linux#Running_MX]]);
#* it is produced with a Raspberry Pi model 3, so with other models you may need to replace the Mono software included in image, and consider what updating rates your model can support;
#* it is produced using a GB locale and GB time-zone, so that automatically started MX may not initially be running correctly for your locale (however as you need to restart MX after changing settings you should be okay when MX starts recording data).
 
= Other utilities =
 
==ByCumulus MarkMX CrossleyTools==
 
The utilities listed here are only for use with MX, they may be included in the [[#Latest build distribution download|MX release zip]], but links to latest releases without the ''*.dll'' files ("software libraries") needed to run the respective utility, are provided below.
 
If you are using a later MX release than that stated, check [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=17887 the MX release announcements] for all releases since that stated below to see if the "software libraries" have been upgraded, if they have then the respective utility because it has been compiled with older versions of the respective .dll files will probably not work. (Sometimes the names of new .dll files are different to the names of the old .dll files, so an upgrade of MX done by copying files over an existing installation will leave the old files there, in that case the utility might still work by picking up old names).
 
=== Migrate Data v3 to v4 ===
 
~ The ExportToMySQL.exeMigrateDatav3to4 ''v1.100.04'' download dated 0729 January 2024 (works with release of MX 3.28.1 or later)2025 [https://github.com/cumulusmx/ExportToMySQLMigrateData3to4/releases/download/v1.100.04/ExportToMySQL-v1MigrateData3to4v1.100.04.zip is here.].
 
A utility to migrate your data files from Cumulus MX v3 format to v4 format.
Read [https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=22051 Cumulus MX Version 4 - IMPORTANT Additional Information] for information on how to use this utility.
 
=== Create Missing ===
 
~ The CreateMissing.exe ''v1v2.40.32'' download dated 0518 FebruaryOctober 2024 (works with MX release of 34.200.0 onwards) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases/download/v1v2.40.32/CreateMissing-v1v2.40.32.zip is here].
 
~ The CreateMissing ''v1.4.3'' download dated 05 February 2024 (works with MX release of 3.20.0 onwards) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases/download/v1.4.3/CreateMissing-v1.4.3.zip is here].
 
Check compatibility with the MX release you have running as per notes above. (Although earlier releases of "Create Missing" exist on "github.com/cumulusmx/CreateMissing/releases", their software bugs imply they should not be used). Install into same directory as "CumulusMX.exe".
=== Create Records ===

'''DO NOT USE THIS VERSION WITH Cumulus MX v4'''
~ The ExportToMySQL.exe ''v1.10.0'' download dated 07 January 2024 (works with release of MX 3.28.1 or later) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/ExportToMySQL/releases/download/v1.10.0/ExportToMySQL-v1.10.0.zip is here.]
 
ExportToMySQL is now included in the Cumulus MX v4 distribution zip file.
 
~ The ExportToMySQL ''v1.10.0'' download dated 07 January 2024 (works with release of MX 3.28.1 or later) [https://github.com/cumulusmx/ExportToMySQL/releases/download/v1.10.0/ExportToMySQL-v1.10.0.zip is here.]
 
Check compatibility with the MX release you have running as per notes above. Note that compatibility is needed both with the .dll files and with the columns present in the database table to be updated.
''This new utility replaces the "ExportMySQL.exe" (no "To" in that name) utility included by Steve Loft in his MX beta distributions.'' That is not compatible with any recent MX releases.
