How to upgrade Nitrocid KS on Windows

Last updated 1 year ago

Upgrading your kernel on Windows is pretty simple, depending on the way you've installed the simulator. To upgrade your kernel, choose a method. Please note that the second method, which is unpacking the update yourself, can also be done with the bleeding-edge builds.

Method 1: Using Chocolatey

Any updates to the KS Chocolatey package can be done using a built-in Chocolatey command. To update the kernel, follow these steps:

  1. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like ConEmu

  2. Run choco upgrade ks

  3. Once the upgrade is done, run KS like you normally would

Method 2: Manually unpacking

Nitrocid KS can also be manually updated in case the automatic updater failed to update. To update the kernel, perform the same steps as in installing KS. Run the executable to upgrade your kernel configuration files to the latest.

  1. Ensure that you have all the required software installed

  2. Download the latest release RAR file from . Files that end with the -dotnet prefix means that it's for .NET 6.0.

  3. Unpack the RAR archive to any folder of your choice

  4. Open your favorite terminal emulator, like ConEmu, and change the working directory to a folder containing the Nitrocid KS executable

  5. Execute ks or Nitrocid.exe to start the kernel
