 **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.

 **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 'execute' box 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. **Please note:** building from source will also continue to work, and you may build from source if you prefer.
