From time to time, we may release updates to the remoteit or connectd packages to add features, improve usability, or fix bugs.
In order to update the remoteit or connectd package on a Raspbian/Raspberry Pi OS networked device which is already deployed to a remote location, please follow the instructions below carefully.
Danger
Failure to carefully follow these instructions may result in loss of connection to your device, along with inability to restore connections without rebooting the device or having to connect directly to restore the configuration.
Danger
DO NOT install remoteit over the connectd package. Doing so will result in loss of connectivity if you reboot. To check whether the connectd package is installed, run:
sudo dpkg -s connectd
Updating the remoteit package using a remote.it SSH connection
Make a remote.it SSH connection to the target networked device, then run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sh -c "$(curl -L "https://downloads.remote.it/remoteit/install_agent.sh")"Your remote.it SSH connection will break during the second operation. This is expected. After a few minutes, make a new SSH connection to confirm that everything is still working as expected.
Make a remote.it SSH connection to the target networked device, then run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo nohup apt install remoteit &
