Updates

Keeping your Manjikaze system up-to-date is crucial for security, stability, and access to the latest features. Manjikaze provides convenient methods to keep both itself and your installed applications updated.

Manjikaze Self-Updates

Manjikaze automatically checks for updates each time you run the application. When an update is available, you'll be prompted to update with a simple confirmation dialog:

Updates available. Would you like to update Manjikaze?

It's recommended to approve these updates to ensure you have the latest features and security patches.

A system package install skips this check: your package manager updates Manjikaze.

Updating Installed Applications

Manjikaze provides a convenient menu option to update all installed applications:

1. Launch Manjikaze
2. Navigate to Setup > Update installed apps
3. The system will update all installed packages using both pacman and yay

Update Frequency

It's recommended to run the update command at least every two weeks to keep your system up-to-date. Regular updates help maintain:

• System security
• Application stability
• Access to the latest features
• Compatibility with new software

For Arch-based systems like Manjaro, staying current is especially important due to the rolling release nature of the distribution.
