PinePhone Updating Instructions

Methods of updating

There is no need to regularly flash the newest images to your phone because the underlying system is built on pre-existing package managers for maintaining integrity. You can use the GUI applications (usually 'Software' or 'Discover') or because there is always a terminal nearby, these commands will help you stay updated with the latest available programs from your default selected repository.

Mobian

Mobian is based on Debian, and so you can open a terminal to update all software. The following command will check for updates and install them:

 $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

If some packages were held back, you can update them with:

 $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Manjaro, or other Arch Linux based OSs

To first download all new package's

 $ sudo pacman -Suuyyw

and do the same without the 'w' to apply new package's

 $ sudo pacman -Suy 

(--cache-dir can be used for a separate download location, otherwise consider reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman#Configuration for further optimization)

If you encounter any errors during the update, you may have to update the Pacman mirrors as follows:

 $ sudo pacman-mirrors -f
