===== Updating XBian =====

Your XBian install can be kept up to date in many ways, but all lead to the same core mechanism. As is standard on Debian-based systems, the APT system is used.

==== How to update ====

Choose one:
  - ** update via //xbian-config// tool directly from inside Kodi **
    * you don't even need a keyboard to do it this way - just use your remote 
  - **update via //xbian-config// tool from terminal (text-based console)**
  - **update via //apt-get// on your own**

=== Turn on auto updates ===
Auto updates can be configured via //xbian-config// tool too. With the default configuration, XBian will check for updates daily and will install all stable packages.

==== Troubleshooting ====

=== Problems while updating python ===

If you can't run the update proper because of an error with python, run the following commands. (([[http://forum.xbian.org/thread-2195-post-21660.html#pid21660|Post #21660]] from mk01)) \\ 
Afterwards the update should work well.

<code>sudo sed -i '/_hashlib.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list
sudo sed -i '/_ssl.so/d' /var/lib/dpkg/info/python2.7.list</code>
