Do a software update from a shell console

You can do a software update from a shell console.

Before you begin

You have downloaded the applicable update bundle that you want to use for the update.

Procedure

Open a shell console.
In the shell console, type cd and navigate to the directory where the .bundle file is located.
To copy the .bundle file to the sensor, enter the command:
```
scp VERSION-update.bundle admin@<sensor_ip>:/data/tmp
```
Note: You should refer to Release notes of the new version to follow the correct update path.

The update bundle uploads.
Enter the command:
```
ssh admin@<sensor_ip>
```
To go to privileged mode, enter this command:
```
enable-me
```
You can now perform system changes.
To start the installation of the new software, enter the command:
```
install_update /data/tmp/VERSION-update.bundle
```

Results

The update process begins. The update may take several minutes to complete.
