Updating Linutil

Linutil is actively developed and updated frequently. There are a few ways to keep your installation current.

Running the Latest Version Directly

The simplest way to always use the latest release is to run the curl command each time:

curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linux | sh

This always pulls the latest stable release without any local install needed.

Updating a Local Install

If you installed Linutil locally (via Cargo, AUR, or openSUSE packages), use the appropriate method to update.

Linutil Updater (Built-in)

The easiest way to update a Cargo-based install is the Linutil Updater script inside the tool itself:

1. Run Linutil
2. Navigate to Applications Setup
3. Select Linutil Updater
4. The script will update your local linutil_tui crate

Cargo

cargo install --force linutil_tui

Arch Linux (AUR)

# Using paru
paru -Syu linutil

# Using yay

openSUSE

sudo zypper update linutil

Dev Branch

To test the latest unreleased features, use the dev branch:

curl -fsSL https://christitus.com/linuxdev | sh

Checking the Current Version

After installing Linutil locally, you can check the version with:
