-=== Remove the old version first ===
-Remove the old version of Batocera //before// overwriting it with the update. Be aware that by doing this you would have to do this manual workaround every time you need to update.
-    - Boot into Batocera, [[:access_the_batocera_via_ssh|SSH into it]] or use the file manager's xterm and run the following: <code>mount -o remount,rw /boot</code>
-    - Backup your ''/boot/boot/batocera'' file to another device or the userdata partition if you have enough space there (''cp /boot/boot/batocera /userdata/system/batocera-backup'', or you can exit the xterm with ''[Alt]''+''[F4]'' and then use the file manager to copy the file to your ''/userdata/system/'' folder)
-    - Run the following command to delete the ''batocera'' file and immediately upgrade: <code>rm -i /boot/boot/batocera && batocera-upgrade</code> Confirm the file you want to delete. <WRAP center round info>
-You should then get an output that looks like this: <code>Starting the upgrade...
-url: https://mirrors.o2switch.fr/batocera/x86_64/beta/last/boot.tar.xz
-need to download 1876mb
-m/upgrade/boot.tar.xz     0%[                              ]   9.55M  1.82MB/s    eta 19m 42s</code>
-</WRAP>
-    - Wait for the upgrade to completely finish, then reboot to apply the changes. <WRAP center round tip>
-If Batocera fails to boot, you can restore the backup you made in step 2 and then remove it with (replacing the first path if you used a different location for your backup): <code>cp /userdata/system/batocera-backup /boot/boot/batocera && rm /userdata/system/batocera-backup</code>
