how to I replace the modern folder with the result of your build?

what command to use in CMD to replace the file?

Are you serious? You don't know how to copy files? I'm sure there are countless resources online where you can find an answer. It's not something specific to Traccar.

sorry my bad i want to know the director where I need to replace the folder.
example
cat > /opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml

to edit traccar.xml

The folder is /opt/traccar/modern, if that's what you're asking.

so now I have to replace the modern folder /opt/traccar/modern with the build folder /opt/traccar/build which I got after npm run build

warning message at the time of build

Anton Tananaev10 months ago

There should be no /opt/traccar/build. You have to replace the content of the folder. The folder should stay the same. That's what replacing means.

I am using this commands cp -r /opt/traccar/modern /opt/traccar/modern_backup

cp -r /path/to/modern/* /opt/traccar/modern by renaming the build as modern
