1. look on [[Software|Software download page]], find the link to latest version, and fill out the '...' below appropriately as you run these 2 commands on your device where you do downloads:
<pre>cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/cumulusmx/CumulusMX/ ... .zip</pre>
2. Once that download is complete, start cumulusmx.sh with option -u
<pre>/home/pi/CumulusMX/cumulusmx.sh -u</pre>
3.When asked for the zip file, enter
<pre>/tmp/CumulusMXDist</pre> and hit the TAB Button
4.Choose the zip file with the CumulusMX update and hit return.
5. Follow the on screen instructions
6. With each update component .....you can choose: [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename
I would recommend select '''A''' as that will simply replace all files without further action.
CumulusMX will be restarted after update completes.
You can check if the update was successful by using option -s:
<pre> /home/pi/CumulusMX/cumulusmx.sh -s</pre>
