Installing

There are several ways to install and manage services on StartOS.

From the Marketplace

Open the Marketplace, select a service, and click Install. The Marketplace ships with the Start9 Registry and the Community Registry, and you can add custom registries.

Sideloading

You can install services directly from .s9pk files without using a registry. See Sideloading.

Updating

When newer versions of installed services are available, you can update them from the Updates tab or directly from the Marketplace. See Updating.

Downgrading

If a service listing shows an older version than what you have installed, the Marketplace will display a Downgrade button instead of Install or Update.

Switching Flavors

If multiple flavors of a service exist, the Marketplace will display a Switch button when viewing a different flavor than the one currently installed.
