Checking the Libelium Repository

In order to use this version you need to have Meshlium connection to the Internet. If so just press the "Check for updates" button and the system will connect with the Libelium server and will download the latest updates.

All the available updates are shown. It is possible that several "middle step" updates have to be done before getting the latest version installed.

After installing all the pending updates reboot the system pressing the "Restart" button. Remember that after upgrading the system you will have to access to the system as specified in the "Accessing to Meshlium" chapter.

If you are updating a plugin from the Libelium repository three different options may appear:

  • New Sections
  • New Plugins
  • Update Plugins

Important: Sometimes you need to upgrade first the Manager System in order to install or update plugins. If the buttons are disabled try to update first the Manager System to the last version.

Navigate and install the new plugin updates in the same way as pointed out in the previous section.
