          Thanks @sdetweil

          I am on Pi 3 ( I am a novice to MM. where do I run isb_release -a for the info you requested? on the terminal?)

          I used your script to upgrade.

                        Thanks Sam.
                        I ended up deleting prior installation and used your script to reinstall.
                        Its up and running now.
                        Thanks again!
