<h2>Caveats</h2>
<p><em>Installing over an older version</em>: 1.16 snapshots are
fully compatible with 1.15 indexes for now. Perform a full index
pass if installing over an older version. The simplest way to do
this is to quit all recoll programs and just delete the index
directory
(<span class="literal">rm&nbsp;-rf&nbsp;~/.recoll/xapiandb</span>).
<span class="literal">recollindex&nbsp;-z</span>
will do the same in most cases.</p>
