<h1>The Automatic Updater<a class="headerlink" href="#the-automatic-updater" title="Link to this heading"></a></h1>
<p>The Automatic Updater ensures that you always have the
latest features and bug fixes for your Nextcloud synchronization client.</p>
<p>The Automatic Updater updates only on macOS and Windows computers; Linux
users only need to use their normal package managers. However, on Linux systems
the Updater will check for updates and notify you when a new version is
available.</p>
<section id="basic-workflow">
<h2>Basic Workflow<a class="headerlink" href="#basic-workflow" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The following sections describe how to use the Automatic Updater on different
operating systems.</p>
<section id="windows">
<h3>Windows<a class="headerlink" href="#windows" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>The Nextcloud client checks for updates and downloads them when available. You
can view the update status under <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Settings</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">General</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">Updates</span></code> in the
Nextcloud client.</p>
<p>If an update is available, and has been successfully downloaded, the Nextcloud
client starts a silent update prior to its next launch and then restarts
itself. Should the silent update fail, the client offers a manual download.</p>
<div class="admonition note">

<section id="macos">
<h3>macOS<a class="headerlink" href="#macos" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>The macOS client has an autoupdater which uses the Sparkle framework.
This autoupdater is bundled into the client App Bundle and checks for updates
on launch, notifying you if an update is available. This will present a pop-up
that can let you automatically download and install the latest client update
with one click.</p>
<p>In versions of the client where the Sparkle-based autoupdater is not bundled,
a clickable notification will appear informing of an update being available.
Upon clicking on said notification, the download page for the latest version
of the client will be opened in the system’s web browser.</p>
<p>Like on other systems, you can view the update status under
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Settings</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">General</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">Updates</span></code> in the Nextcloud client.</p>
</section>
<section id="linux">
<h3>Linux<a class="headerlink" href="#linux" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>Linux distributions provide their own update tools, so Nextcloud clients that use
the Linux operating system do not perform any updates on their own. The client
will inform you (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Settings</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">General</span> <span class="pre">-&gt;</span> <span class="pre">Updates</span></code>) when an update is

<h2>Preventing Automatic Updates<a class="headerlink" href="#preventing-automatic-updates" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>In controlled environments, such as companies or universities, you might not
want to enable the auto-update mechanism, as it interferes with controlled
deployment tools and policies. To address this case, it is possible to disable
the auto-updater entirely.  The following sections describe how to disable the
auto-update mechanism for different operating systems.</p>
<section id="preventing-automatic-updates-in-windows-environments">
<h3>Preventing Automatic Updates in Windows Environments<a class="headerlink" href="#preventing-automatic-updates-in-windows-environments" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>Users may disable automatic updates by adding this line to the [General]
section of their <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">nextcloud.cfg</span></code> files:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">skipUpdateCheck</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="n">true</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Windows administrators have more options for preventing automatic updates in
Windows environments by using one of two methods. The first method allows users
to override the automatic update check mechanism, whereas the second method
prevents any manual overrides.</p>
<p>To prevent automatic updates, but allow manual overrides:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p>Edit these Registry keys:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><ol class="loweralpha simple">
<li><p>(32-bit-Windows) <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Nextcloud\Nextcloud</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>(64-bit-Windows) <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Nextcloud\Nextcloud</span></code></p></li>
</ol>
</div></blockquote>
</li>
<li><p>Add the key <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">skipUpdateCheck</span></code> (of type DWORD).</p></li>
<li><p>Specify a value of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1</span></code> to the machine.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>To manually override this key, use the same value in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">HKEY_CURRENT_USER</span></code>.</p>
<p>To prevent automatic updates and disallow manual overrides:</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>This is the preferred method of controlling the updater behavior using
Group Policies.</p>

<p>Because the Linux client does not provide automatic updating functionality, there is no
need to remove the automatic-update check.  However, if you want to disable it edit your desktop
client configuration file, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">$HOME/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg</span></code>.
