I’m on Linux & haven’t started BISQ for over a year, it synced to the network but won’t open. I’ve downloaded the latest version, how do I install it without losing data? ---

You won’t lose data if you install it like it was the first time. [Downloading and installing - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Downloading_and_installing) Make a backup of data just in case. [Backing up application data - Bisq Wiki](https://bisq.wiki/Backing_up_application_data) ---

Thanks for reply, meant to say “how do I update?”. Do I uninstall first or install over the old one, will my trust rating be erased? ---

I understood. To update you just need to install new version by double clicking the .deb file you can find at [Releases · bisq-network/bisq · GitHub](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/releases), you will lose no data. Make a backup just in case. ---

Which GNU/Linux distribution are you using? With Ubuntu 20.04 there is in certain cases an [issue](https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/issues/5020) when installing from nautilus. In this case install it from the command line with `sudo dpkg -i Bisq-64bit-1.5.4.deb` ---

Kubuntu, it’s OK it installed & opened. GUI text headings still need to be bigger & bolder, text in general needs to be bigger. ---

Ok the text is bigger now, how do I modify the script to make the headings larger and/or bold without affecting the other text.
