Linux - if you used our OS packages (yum/apt)

The agent will stay up to date if you have configured your package manage to periodically check for updates. You can also force an update:

CentOS / Fedora / Red Hat

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum update sd-agent

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sd-agent


Linux - if you manually installed the agent

cd sd-agent/
python agent.py update
python agent.py restart


Windows

Launch the Server Density helper application from your Start Menu and it will automatically check for updates and prompt you to download and install.  Alternatively you can manually trigger the update downloader.

  1. Ensure that the system tray application is closed by right-clicking on it and clicking "Exit".
  2. Go into the folder where Server Density is installed (usually C:\Program Files\Boxed Ice\Server Density\)
  3. Double-click the BoxedIce.ServerDensity.Agent.Downloader.exe file. This will manually download and apply the updates.


FreeBSD / Mac

cd sd-agent/
python agent.py update
python agent.py restart
