2.9. Applying Updates to an Installed Extensible SDK

If you are working with an installed extensible SDK that gets occasionally updated (e.g. a third-party SDK), then you will need to manually "pull down" the updates into the installed SDK.

To update your installed SDK, use devtool as follows:

     $ devtool sdk-update
            

The previous command assumes your SDK provider has set the default update URL for you through the SDK_UPDATE_URL variable as described in the "Providing Updates to the Extensible SDK After Installation" section. If the SDK provider has not set that default URL, you need to specify it yourself in the command as follows:

     $ devtool sdk-update path_to_update_directory
            

Note

The URL needs to point specifically to a published SDK and not to an SDK installer that you would download and install.
