Updating LibreELEC using the CLI
For updating LibreELEC while using the command line interface, you have to SSH in.
# After you are in, move to the correct folder. cd /storage/.update # First you may want to check whether there's any other files in this folder: ls -la # Now, after we are at the correct folder (and there are no other files in it) we download the specific file directly to our LibreELEC machine: wget http://releases.libreelec.tv/LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1.img.gz # Check the latest builds at https://libreelec.tv/downloads/ # This can take some time depending on your internet connection. You will see a running progress bar. # When the download is done, type the following to restart your machine: reboot # The update process will resume after that, following by a another reboot. Now the update process will be complete
