The Rover Upgrader software is designed to keep your Bodhi5 program up-to-date. This software is run from the Bodhi5 Help>Upgrade menu. When selected, Bodhi5 will shutdown and the Rover Upgrader software will appear. Make sure you are connected to the Internet then click the Start button. Rover will connect to our servers and compare your Bodhi5 version to the current version. If you have an older version, Rover will download and install the updates for you.

If Rover doesn't open when you select Help>Upgrade from the Bodhi5 menu, you will need to install it. Normally this software is installed with Bodhi5 but if you chose not to install Rover the file is saved into your Bodhi5 directory.

These instructions will explain how to install the Rover Upgrader software to your current working version of Bodhi5. If you do not have a copy of Bodhi5 already installed on your computer, follow the instructions on this tutorial.
