The update package consists in a compressed archive (nelk-x.y.x.tar.bz2). It can be downloaded from DAVE website or it can be found on the NELK distribution (SD card or USB pen drive)

  • Start the DVDK virtual machine
  • Take a snapshot of the current VM state. This creates a sort of "backup" which can be used to restore the previous installation
  • Fetch the nelk-x.y.x.tar.bz2 file. You have the following options:
    • download it from inside the virtual machine (with a browser or file downloader);
    • share the file from a shared folder on the host machine using the "Shared Folder" feature (you need to have the Virtual Guest extension installed, see VirtualBox Shared folders);
    • share the file from a shared folder on the local network (you need to have a working network configuration, see VirtualBox Network Configuration
