So I got to this point:
Upgrading the Adapt authoring tool...please hold on!
I held on, but...
fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /vagrant)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
ERROR: 128
Any clues? Something to do with this being a vagrant install combined with the fact I originally downloaded the Authoring Tool folder rather than cloning from the repository?
Hello Stephen,
exactly, upgrade requires a git repository and on Windows a hacky workaround.
Please let me know if I should guide you through this workaround. However, if you downloaded the sourcecode instead of cloning, there is no way to upgrade I am afraid.

Thanks Thomas
I did finally manage to upgrade, from memory I think I cloned the Authoring tool from the git repository, deleted the original AT files and re-ran the upgrade script. It was a mess, but I got there in the end. I'm beginning to think that, while it may be useful for trying out Adapt, the Vagrant install path is not a long-term option for production use.
Hello Stephen,
well done, but this step requires quite a good set of command-line skills and confidence in the same.
We fixed this issue for missing upgrade support on Windows using Vagrant in the next release.
But you are right, the Vagrant install method is not recommended for production. It is intended to be a convenient way to test the Authoring Tool without installing node and mongoDB.
Unfortunately the wiki was not very precise about this limitation. Sorry about that, we fixed this and hope that is now easier to understand which path is suitable for what goal.

I've now installed the Framework locally and will trial using that. Is it possible to move courses created with the Authoring tool out and edit them "by hand" as it were? Whereabouts, and for what files does one look?
It appears that this is possible as I read that Nigel's workflow involves shifting courses in and out of the Authoring tool.
