How to upgrade Nitrocid KS on Windows
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:
Open your favorite terminal emulator, like ConEmu
Run
choco upgrade ks
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.
Ensure that you have all the required software installed
Download the latest release ZIP file from this page.
Unpack the ZIP archive to any folder of your choice
Open your favorite terminal emulator, like ConEmu, and change the working directory to a folder containing the Nitrocid KS executable
Execute
ks
orNitrocid.exe
to start the kernel
For 0.0.24.x or older, files that end with the -dotnet
prefix means that it's for .NET 6.0.
