Updating Raspbian For Robots - Docs

In search of the latest instructions for verifying that the Raspbian For Robots image that I run on my GoPiGo3 is up to date, I ended up at the github Readme.

The Readme indicates that a single command will update R4R including the DI_Sensors and GoPiGo3 - Is this the preferred method still?

open up a terminal in a GUI instantiated environment (the Desktop) and type the following command:

sudo curl -L dexterindustries.com/update_r4r | bash

The same command can be used for updating all the repositories that are found under the “umbrella” of Raspbian For Robots :

I am guessing that after successful completion of that command, I should perform the firmware check/update button on the desktop utility?

BTW I also searched:

  • “Updating Raspbian For Robots” in the Forum - old stuff,
  • readthedocs.io for “Raspbian For Robots” - not in top returns,
  • my notes and found:

Updating GoPiGo3

=== Update Raspbian for Robots

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

=== Update GoPiGo3 software to latest:

curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_gopigo3 | bash

=== Update DI Sensors

curl -kL dexterindustries.com/update_sensors | bash

When you’re running Raspbian for Robots, right on the desktop there’s an icon to update to the very latest. You’ll update everything at the click of a button.
