This guide will teach you how to update the agent on your robot to a newer version. This may be necessary to use new features or fix issues.

In the Formant app

1. In Formant, in the upper-left corner, open the menu and click Settings.
2. Click Devices. Select the device on which you want to update the agent version.
3. Under Summary, you'll see Agent version. If there is a newer version of the agent available, you'll see an Update button. Click Update.

Via terminal

You can also update the agent directly on your device via an SSH connection.

1. SSH to your device.
2. Enter the following commands:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y formant-agent

Via Docker

If your agent is installed via Docker, simply re-run the convenience script provided in Install the Formant agent via Docker without a provisioning token to update your agent:

bash <(wget -qO - <https://app.formant.io/install-agent-docker.sh>)
