 This update includes MASSIVE changes on both the UI and Core. There are some considerations to keep in mind. This update includes MASSIVE changes on both the UI and Core. There are some considerations to keep in mind.

 **Windows and Mac** users who are **already on version 1.6.3** of the Qortal UI, will **automatically update** and will not have to do anything to update their UI. **Windows and Mac** users who are **already on version 1.6.3** of the Qortal UI, will **automatically update** and will not have to do anything to update their UI.

 +**update applying to MAC USERS** - the previous statement about mac automatically updating may not be the case for everyone. If your mac **does not auto-update to version 1.7.0** simply DOWNLOAD THE NEW VERSION from https://qortal.org/downloads - **download the new .dmg**, **mount the image**, then **drag n drop to applications** and **overwrite the existing version**. Then you will be good to go. 
 +
 +The core will DEFINITELY auto-update for EVERYONE, unless they have that specifically disabled.

 +=====Updating the UI for Linux and Pi users=====
  
 **Linux users** who are using the **.deb** package, will have to **update manually** at this point. Linux users who are using the **.appimage will update automatically from 1.6.3**. We recommend at this point to use the **.appimage** until we can get the .deb auto-updates functional again. That should take place shortly, but for now it is much easier to use the **.appimage** as that will update automatically. **Linux users** who are using the **.deb** package, will have to **update manually** at this point.

 In order to SWITCH to using the **.appimage** file, you simply **download the .appimage for your architecture** (you can RENAME the file to something like 'Qortal-UI' if you like, so it looks nicer.) **Right click the file** and go to **properties**, under the properties window, there is a **permissions** tab, click that tab, then check **executable** for your user.  In order to SWITCH to using the **.appimage** file, you simply **download the .appimage for your architecture** (you can RENAME the file to something like 'Qortal-UI' if you like, so it looks nicer.) **Right click the file** and go to **properties**, under the properties window, there is a **permissions** tab, click that tab, then check **executable** for your user. 
  
-**Pi users** - We now have an **.appimage** compatible with both arm and arm64. This will allow pi users to not have to build from source anymore, and will auto-update like every other UI version. Same exact instructions for Linux users as far as changing to the new **.appimage**. Simply **download the file** (rename it if you like, something like 'Qortal-UI' makes the most sense.) **Right click the file** and go to **properties**, on the properties window there is a **permissions** tab, on that tab **check the executable flag for 'owner'** (see image below) then you can simply double-click and RUN the appimage, no longer needing to build from source.+**Pi users** - We now have an **.appimage** compatible with both arm and arm64.

-**Please note:** building from source will also continue to work, and you may build from source if you prefer. We have modified the repo that the UI uses, but even the older 'UI' repo will continue to be updated. Also, if you build from source and run with ELECTRON, it WILL auto-update that way as well.)+Download the appimage here: https://github.com/Qortal/qortal-ui/releases/latest/download/Qortal-Setup-arm.AppImage
