Voyager downloads updates in the background by default and lets you choose when to restart.

​
Install an update

  1. Open Settings → General → About to see your current version and update status.
  2. Choose Check for Updates. If automatic downloads are off, choose Download when an update is available. The notification calls this Download update.
  3. Keep working while the download completes.
Restarting can interrupt active work. Finish your recording or local render and save any unsent message before continuing.
  1. When you see Update ready to install, choose Restart Voyager. You can also quit normally and use the update on the next launch.

Restart when you are ready to install the downloaded update.

Check: Return to Settings → General → About after reopening. The version should match the update you installed. You can also check through Voyager → Check for Updates… on macOS or Help → Check for Updates… on Windows and Linux.

​
Choose when to download

Turn Download updates automatically on or off in Settings → General → About. Turning it off does not cancel a download already in progress. Downloading an update does not restart Voyager while you work. The same section has Update track, with Stable and Nightly. Stable is the default. Choose Nightly only if you want to try nightly builds. If an update is already downloaded, install it before changing tracks.

Update download failed

Voyager could not finish downloading the update.
  1. Check your internet connection and available disk space.
  2. Choose Retry download.

​
Automatic updates are not available because no update feed is configured.

This installation cannot obtain updates from inside the app.
  1. Open Download Voyager.
  2. Install the latest build for your platform using the manual steps above.
Check: The new version appears in About. Linux .deb installations continue to need manual updates. Still stuck: Send support your version and which installer you used.

Automatic updates on Linux require running the AppImage build.

In-app Linux updates apply to the AppImage.
  1. If you use .deb, install the latest .deb manually.
  2. If you use AppImage, quit Voyager and open the downloaded AppImage itself.
Check: Your version updates, or the AppImage’s update controls become available. Still stuck: Include the installer filename and update message in your support request.
