Install

_This plugin requires a Rust version of at least 1.77.2_

There are three general methods of installation that we can recommend.

1. Use crates.io and npm (easiest, and requires you to trust that our publishing pipeline worked)
2. Pull sources directly from Github using git tags / revision hashes (most secure)
3. Git submodule install this repo in your tauri project and then use file protocol to ingest the source (most secure, but inconvenient to use)

Install the Core plugin by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

src-tauri/Cargo.toml

``toml


you can add the dependencies on the [dependencies] section if you do not target mobile

[target."cfg(not(any(target_os = \"android\", target_os = \"ios\")))".dependencies]
tauri-plugin-updater = "2.0.0"

alternatively with Git:

tauri-plugin-updater = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/plugins-workspace", branch = "v2" }
`

You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

`sh
pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater


or

npm add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater

or

yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-updater
`

Usage

First you need to register the core plugin with Tauri:

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

`rust
fn main() {
tauri::Builder::default()
.setup(|app| {
#[cfg(desktop)]
app.handle().plugin(tauri_plugin_updater::Builder::new().build())?;
Ok(())
})
.run(tauri::generate_context!())
.expect("error while running tauri application");
}
`

Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:

`javascript
import { check } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-updater'
import { relaunch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-process'
const update = await check()
if (update) {
await update.downloadAndInstall()
await relaunch()
}
``

Note that for these APIs to work you have to properly configure the updater first and generate updater artifacts. Please refer to the guide on our website for this.
