Updating Octarine

How Octarine keeps itself up to date

Octarine is designed to keep itself up to date automatically. You'll always be running the latest version with minimal effort.

Auto-updates

By default, Octarine checks for updates and downloads them automatically. The following installation packages support automatic updates:

  • Mac .dmg
  • Windows .msi
  • Linux .AppImage

When an update is available, you'll see a small "Update Available" button in the breadcrumb at the top-right of the app. Click it, and Octarine will download the update, install it, and restart automatically.

On Windows, you might see the standard "repair/upgrade" installation prompt during the update process.

If you're on a Linux package that doesn't support auto-updates (RPM, DEB, TAR, or Arch), you'll need to manually download the latest version from the releases page.

How to check for updates

Octarine checks for updates every 24 hours automatically. To check manually:

  1. Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + K)
  2. Type and select Check for updates

Alternatively, click the Check for updates option in the Help menu (the ? icon in the bottom-right corner).

How to check your current version

To see which version of Octarine you're running:

  1. Open the Command Palette (Cmd/Ctrl + K)
  2. Type and select About Octarine
