Whether you have been using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus, you may be tempted to install MX on a PC, or other device, running Windows Operating System; the article linked in the heading will help you.
 
You may be reading this article on MX as a Cumulus 1 user considering moving to MX, if so then it explains all issues when moving from Cumulus 1 to MX, including what functionality you will gain and what you will lose by moving to MX. The article will help you to decide whether to stick with Cumulus 1's stable release as many MX releases have bugs as the developer tries revising the code, to simplify it, as well as to introduce new features.
 
As a new Cumulus user, using MX on Windows (but with no experience of Cumulus 1), the separate article linked from the heading to this section will still interest you as it is a definitive guide to installing Cumulus MX on Windows.
 
=== Cross reference to article on [[Raspberry_Pi_Image|Setting up Raspberry Pi using a pre-built Image]] for Cumulus ===
Whether you have been using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus, youYou may be tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi, operating in headless mode (instead of connecting a screen and keyboard to it, you do all access to the Pi from another computer on same network). The developer has made life easy for you by combining the '''Raspberry Pi Lite Operating System''' with a pre-installation copy of MX.
 
Find out more about using this pre-built Raspberry Pi image file to create a basic headless server in the article linked in the heading.
 
It is worth reading the article linked below as well.
 
=== Cross reference to article on [[Setting up Raspberry Pi]] for Cumulus ===
Whether you have been using Cumulus 1, or are new to Cumulus, you may be tempted to install MX on a Raspberry Pi. A Raspberry Pi computer (and similar devices from other manufacturers) is much simpler than a normal computer, but it can still run various operating systems that allow you to use it perhaps for both running MX and a web server. Find out more in the article linked in the heading.
 
=== Cross reference to article on [[Updating MX to new version]] ===
 
Whether you have not updated for a long time, or simply wonder whether you are updating the easiest way, follow the link in the heading for this section, to an article that focussescontains onadvice all'''both''' tofor do withthose updating fromeach onetime MXthere versionis toa another.new Thisrelease includesavailable the'''and''' recommendedhow approachto (lettingupgrade from an old version in zipa overwriteseries previousof installation)steps, andskipping othersome in-between approachesversions.

Critically, this linked article contains advice '''both''' for those updating each time there is a new release available '''and''' how to upgrade from an old version in a series of steps, skipping some in-between versions. So read the article linked in the section heading whether you are still using Steve Loft's beta version of MX or an old Mark Crossley release.
 
=== Cross reference to [[Cumulus MX FAQ]] ===
 
A new FAQ for MX has been started at [[Cumulus_MX_FAQ|another page]]. As I add the link here, the Cumulus MX FAQ is in a mess, but hopefully someone will have time to sort it out.
 
Meanwhile most MX specific questions are now covered by the updating of text on this "Cumulus MX" page.
