When something goes wrong

Sometimes the Updater may stop due to an error. In that case, it will most likely tell what goes wrong and what step to take.

Run the Updater

Good to know: you can always run the Updater again, during or after the installation. In that case use the ‘update’ command:

lynis-updater update

If changed basic details of the system after or during the setup, such as a hostname, then a ‘forced’ update might be needed. This will do the same thing as normally, but will run more tasks and enforce that some files are created (again).

lynis-updater update --force
