I followed the README file in the armhf zip ignition installation file in order to upgrade my RPi Ignition version, but after doing that it started up as Standard edition, and i’m not sure how to get it back to Maker edition… I remember @paul-griffith possibly mentioning something about how to change this in a config file somewhere?

Not sure why it started up as a different edition

You can check this. Maybe you'll have to just add `=maker`? That's my guess.

More general guidance [here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/reference-pages/gateway-configuration-file-reference#changing-java-additional-parameters). It would probably be a good idea to take a Gateway Backup prior to doing this, just in case.

P.S. found maker-related source

The `data/ignition.conf` file was overridden because it is included in the .zip bundle that has all the Maker content. When following the instructions on upgrading, it looks like a note regarding this might be missing. Adding a line like `wrapper.java.additional.#=-Dedition=maker` (replacing `#` with a valid integer) will get you back to Maker edition.
