      Hi @Tamas-Pal-0 ,

      Updates are through the apt package manager. When new releases are available via SDK updates, you will be able to run apt update && apt upgrade.

      Information on SDK releases are here, the latest release having voxl-px4
      https://docs.modalai.com/voxl-suite/#v080

      Information about our package management 'channels' are here, where you can choose to access earlier, pre-production releases if you want:
      https://docs.modalai.com/configure-pkg-manager/

      If you want to build from source and install, you can follow this guide, where you end up creating a .deb file and installing it the same that the apt package manager would:
