[Dxspider-support] Script to update DXSpider

[Stephen Carroll]

I'm going to attempt upgrading from the master to mojo branch. Being a
Linux novice, what steps do I need to take after your "wget ...  .zip"
command? How do I install it?

The computer/cluster has been running Ubuntu 22.04 for a number of months
without any problems.

Thanks in advance.
