MinKNOW updates
Availability of updates to the MinKNOW software are indicated via the MinKNOW host settings or as a pop-up when first opening the software. The user should follow the on-screen instructions to install the new versions.
The details of the update will be communicated in Nanopore Community announcements.
We strongly recommend users to update as soon as reasonably possible after the release has been made available.
Note: Users will not be able to update their device if connected remotely or if a run is in progress.

Open the MinKNOW UI via the desktop icon and the auto-updater will automatically check for updates when connected to the device.

A dialogue box will open when a new update is available.
Select Get Update to update the device software automatically.
Updates may be skipped. However, we recommend to update the device as soon as updates are available. Some updates will be mandatory to use the device and are unable to be skipped.
