Can't install new NextPVR verion 7.1.0

[RAK]

I have tried installing the new Linux Version 7.1.0.260607 of NextPVR twice with no results.  By "no results", I mean that the version of NextPVR shown when going to "Settings" remains the same as it has been 7.0.5.260307.  The only difference is: "(7.1.1.260616 is available for download)" is now shown in a green font after my latest version number.

The Terminal Log of one of my installation sessions is shown below with my "# comments" added.  I created a separate directory named "Downloads-2" to be sure I am only using the most recent downloaded files.

dick@deb:~$ cd Downloads-2  # Change to this directory for doing all the commands for installation.
dick@deb:~/Downloads-2$ ls  # Nothing is shown because the directory is empty.
dick@deb:~/Downloads-2$ curl https://nextpvr.com/nextpvr-helper.deb -O  # Download command is executed.

Note, selecting 'nextpvr-helper' instead of './nextpvr-helper.deb'  # THIS MAY BE THE PROBLEM
nextpvr-helper is already the newest version (3.1).                # WHAT IS VERSION 3.1?
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 300 not upgraded.    # SHOWS 0 INSTALLED - WHY?

I have noticed that URL https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.ph...ight=7.1.0
refers to a URL for installation information Linux: https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=59390
that is dated: 2019-06-14, 05:06 PM.  Could this be the problem?

Read the wiki on the command to update NextPVR after it is installed https://github.com/sub3/NextPVR/wiki/nextpvr-helper"

Tnx Martin, your URL is great once I found it existed.

A few years ago, I had a little experience with the Windows version of NextPVR, and I always installed a new version over-writing the previous version. It was much easier that way, so I would never have guessed there is a different procedure now.

The wiki is a wealth of information that is often overlooked. It is linked on the top of this page and in the browser itself not sure what more we can do.
