UPDATING NOOBS

[R3ZNOR]

Hi

I have tried a search on here already but to no useful end.

I have NOOBS from Nov 2015 running on my Pi.

I have heard there is a new version from Feb 2016.

How do I update from within the Pi? I have managed to connect it to the Internet.

Many thanks, R

NOBS is just an installer / chooser and should not require updating.

Any Operating System installed via NOBS can be updated though....

Thanks.

What I'm really asking is how do I get the new update (from Feb 2016) on my Pi? I'm not sure if the new update is NOOBS (which does appear on this site as being updated from Feb 2016) or something within NOOBS itself. Either way do I need to flash the SD card I'm sure using in my Pi or can I update from the Pi itself (I have looked for such an option but can't find it).

If it clarifies things the update I need has something to do with Scratch and the ability to change font size.

Thanks R

As said above, NOOBS is a tool to install an OS. It doesn't matter if you update that. Generally you can update the OS by entering this to the terminal.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

The Operating System you have installed via NOOBS is Raspbian Jessie, therefore open LXTerminal and enter the following pressing enter after each line, allow 30-45 mins...

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
