Install updates

Updated: May 29, 2023

The QNX Software Center automatically displays product updates that you are entitled to.

Installing one or more updates

Note: The Updates tab supports the same package-selection and sorting methods as the Available tab. See “Install addon packages” for details.

To install an update for installed package:

  1. In the Welcome screen, click Check for Package Updates.

  2. In the Updates tab, select the update or updates you wish to install, then right-click and select Install.

    Alternatively, go to the Installed tab and find the package you want to update. Right-click the package and select Update to see a list of updates for the package, then pick a specific version.

  3. Make sure that the update you want to install is checked, then click Next.
  4. Review the list of packages that the QNX Software Center will install, then click Finish.

    When installation is complete, you'll see the update in the Installed tab.

You don’t have to worry about installing updates in a specific order. The QNX Software Center manages dependencies for you.

Installing all updates

To install all available updates, click Select All in the Updates tab, then click Install.

Note: You can also downgrade a package to a previous version. See “Downgrade a package to a previous version” for more information.
