Hi,

I would like to upgrade GAM to Advanced GAM, but I'm not sure how to install it. I don't know if it's not easier to uninstall the original GAM (how to do it?) And install the new Advanced GAM?

In case of update it is necessary to follow these instructions (is that so?)
1. Download Advanced GAM: bash <(curl -s -S -L https://git.io/fhZWP) -l 

2. Than I can follow this video (probably?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QvCtZm1w5I, but I have a project ready and do not want to create a new one.

3. Do I still have to set the alias and this: export GAMCFGDIR = "/ Users / admin / GAMConfig"?

Can I use the same commands in Advanced GAM as in GAM - eg gam csv xy.csv gam update group ~ Group add member user ~ Email etc., or is everything different?

I would like to use Advanced GAM to notify users of newly created accounts, send them login details, etc., which is not possible in the original GAM.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I'm following along on that, attempting to update an existing GAM to GAMADV, however, when trying to initialize it's returning nothing. Not even an error.

Everything up to this point looks right. It just seems that GAMADV refuses to process any gam commands. Though the old GAM is working just fine.

Hmm. Strange. It works with a slightly older version.
