Update the Hyperglance CLI
The Hyperglance CLI (hg) facilitiates updates of the main application. So we recommend updating the CLI first for best results:
sudo hg update-cli
Update the main Hyperglance application
Note: We recommend updating the Hyperglance CLI first (see above).
To update the main Hyperglance application, run:
sudo hg upgrade
If you use Hyperglance with AWS, check our release notes to see if a new service has been added, or any IAM policies need updating.
Schedule Automatic Updates
To enable automatic updates you can add a cronjob in the Hyperglance VM by running the following command:
sudo hg auto-update enable
This update weekly on Sunday at midnight.
To see other options for update frequency run:
hg auto-update enable -h
Tip: For help creating custom cron expressions: This is a great resource.
