Updating Speedify on Linux (Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS)

This article explains how to update Speedify on a Linux machine running Ubuntu or Raspberry Pi OS. If you installed Speedify using the get speedify script, the update process only takes two commands.

How Speedify Updates Work on Linux

When you install Speedify using the get speedify script, the Speedify package repository is automatically added to your system's list of package sources. This means apt  (Advanced Package Tool) can find and install Speedify updates the same way it handles any other system package.

Let's Get Started

Step 1

Open a terminal on your Linux machine.

Step 2

Choose the right update command for your setup and run it in the terminal.

To update all packages on your machine, including Speedify:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

To update only Speedify with the user interface (UI):

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade speedifyui

To update only Speedify without the UI:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade speedify

The apt update  command checks for new package versions, and apt upgrade  installs them. Once the update is complete, Speedify will automatically start the new version of the daemon.
