My shitty script to update Micro-Manager release on GNU/Linux. Better is: https://micro-manager.org/wiki/How_To_Build_Micro_Manager_From_Source_On_Ubuntu_13.10

update-release.sh

#!/usr/bin/env sh

# Update to the latest Micro-Manager release.
#
# - Download and unpack the source tarball from GitHub mirror.
# - Update 3rdpartypublic svn repo.
# - Unpack ImageJ to new versioned directory.
# - Compile and install Micro-Manager to the ImageJ directory.

# Read the current release version
SNAPSHOT=$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mdcurtis/micromanager-upstream/master/version.txt)
RELEASE=${SNAPSHOT:0:4}$(expr ${SNAPSHOT:4} - 1)
MMDIR=micromanager-upstream-$RELEASE

# Check if the current release is installed
if [ -d $RELEASE ]
then
    echo "Version $RELEASE already exists" >&2
    exit 1
fi

# Download MM tarball
wget https://github.com/mdcurtis/micromanager-upstream/archive/${RELEASE}.tar.gz
# Unpack MM
tar -xvpf ${RELEASE}.tar.gz

# Unpack ImageJ
unzip -K ij148.zip
# Rename ImageJ directory as mm installation version
mv ImageJ $RELEASE

# Update 3rdpartypublic
( cd 3rdpartypublic && svn up )

# Compile MM
cd $MMDIR
./autogen.sh
./configure \
    --prefix=$(dirname $(pwd))/$RELEASE \
    --enable-imagej-plugin=$(dirname $(pwd))/$RELEASE \
    --with-python
make fetchdeps
make -j5

# Install MM
make install
cd ..
cd $RELEASE
./mmimagej
