- Package or bare metal: update through your distribution's package manager, or replace the binary from the releases page.
- Back up the config and database directory first. For most projects a downgrade is not supported once the schema has migrated.

FAQ
How do I update the Kodi Media center?
See the step-by-step above. Follow the project's release page for the flashing or OTA procedure. Many maker devices update from a web installer or the project's desktop app.
How does Firmwarely know when there's a new version?

Is this an official Kodi page?
No. Firmwarely is independent. Device and brand names belong to their manufacturers; always download firmware from the official source.
