[Question] How to update Kodi?

[heeki]

Hi there!

I was looking for how to update Kodi in google and in the forum but I couldn't find it. I am not sure if there is no way to update from an old version to a new one and you have to uninstall it and then install the new one.

I've had Kodi 14.2 BETA version and on boot now it appears a message that there is a 14.2 Release that I should use that one (and I agree). So I'd really like to update Kodi to a stable version without losing other configs. If you could help me it will be very much appretiated.

Thanks a lot.

No one able to tell me how to update? Is a new installation the only possible way?

I think in the console
apt-get update or apt-get upgrade

Probably all you need to know about updating xbian - If you want the latest kodi (18 at time of writing) then you will need to allow 'devel'. But it is perhaps better to wait until it has been tested more and released as stable.

Is the 'devel' feature tested and released as stable at this point? Is it safe to allow it?

devel is tested but far away from stable, that's why it is called devel
