Updating Pareto Desktop on Linux

Updating Pareto Desktop on Linux varies depending on your installation method and Linux distribution. The app will automatically check for updates and notify you when a new version is available.

Use your package manager

Use the “Software” or “Updates” application on your system to check for updates. Pareto Desktop will be updated along with any other software update available for your system.

Using the CLI

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade paretosecurity

Fedora

sudo dnf update paretosecurity

Arch

sudo pacman -Syu paretosecurity

Install Script

If you encounter issues with manual updates, you can always use the one-liner installation command, which will handle the update automatically:

curl -sL pkg.paretosecurity.com/install.sh | sudo bash

Troubleshooting Updates

Repository update issues

If you encounter repository-related errors during update, try clearing the package cache:

Debian/Ubuntu

sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update

Fedora

sudo dnf clean all
sudo dnf update

Arch

sudo pacman -Syy

Service restart after update

After updating, it’s recommended to restart the Pareto Security service to ensure all changes take effect:

sudo systemctl restart paretosecurity
sudo systemctl restart paretosecurity-user

Or simply reboot your system.
