Upgrade to 10.12

I’ve been experimenting running Indigo on a 10.8 external drive getting things prepared to go to 10.12.
The main drive on my mini has 10.12 installed and Indigo.

What I’m hoping for some advice on is the best way to get Indigo from the external drive to the main drive.
Can I just copy the database from the external to the main drive? Both Indigo installs are the same ver.

I’ve installed a number of plugins on the external drive that aren’t on the main drive yet.
Maybe just copy the entire Indigo 7 folder to the main drive?

Appreciate any advice on how to get it all on the main drive.

Thanks,

Carl

Have a look at https://forums.indigodomo.com/viewtopic.php?f=75&t=19247#p147416

I was moving down from High Sierra to Sierra (10.12) but same for moving up to Sierra.

Backed up the Indigo 7 Folder to my NAS (or external drive)
Compare both to make sure byte count and files and directories match.
Install Indigo 7.0 on the new Mac (same Mac for me but reformatted)
Copy the NAS backup to overwrite the Indigo 7 directory
Reinstall Indigo 7.0 again to ensure correct permissions
Reboot
