# fwupd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[fwupd](https://fwupd.org/) is a daemon for managing and installing firmware
|
||||||
|
updates on Linux based operating systems.
|
||||||
|
It is mainly used for UEFI firmware and supported devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Setup
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
fwupd can be installed on most distributions by installing the
|
||||||
|
`fwupd` package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following commands describe the basic usage of an update process using
|
||||||
|
fwupd.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
First the devices updatable by fwupd can be checked.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh
|
||||||
|
fwupdmgr get-devices
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Afterwards the latest metadata can be downloaded by the following command.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```sh

|
|
||||||
|
Finally the updates can be installed.
