Updating KeeneticOS via CLI
You can update your device to the latest OS version via the built-in command-line interface (CLI) by connecting via TELNET. For connection instructions, see Command-line interface (CLI).
Tip
To update the built-in software, you will need to execute specific commands in the device's CLI. To avoid mistakes in the command syntax, you can copy the command to the clipboard (by pressing Ctrl+C on your keyboard) and then paste it from the clipboard (by pressing Ctrl+V).
Updating KeeneticOS to the latest version from the Main channel:
In your device's CLI, execute the following commands in sequence to update to the latest stable release:
components list stable components commit
After successfully executing these commands, the device will automatically reboot. Then, connect to its web interface (for example, via the default IP address 192.168.1.1) and check the OS version on the System Dashboard page in the About the System section (it is indicated in the OS version field). The list of system components will remain unchanged when you execute these commands.
Installing KeeneticOS from the Preview channel:
In your device's CLI, execute the following commands in sequence to install the most recent pre-release version:
components list preview components commit
After these commands are successfully executed, the device will automatically reboot.
Installing KeeneticOS from the Developer channel:
In your device's CLI, execute the following commands in sequence to install the latest draft (test) build:
components list draft components commit
After successfully executing these commands, the device will automatically reboot.
Tip
Our technical support service only provides support for official versions from the Main and Preview channels. For support with draft versions, please contact the Keenetic Community developer forum.
In addition to the commands listed above, there are commands that display a list of all available components (components list), allow you to select components for installation (components install) or removal (components remove). Information about these and other commands related to updating the OS and components can be found in the Command Interface Reference Guide, which is available in the Download Center section.
