Installation
[For existing SDK users]
-
This installation process is applicable from webOS TV SDK v4.x or above and is different from earlier SDK versions. Read the v4.x release notes for more information.
-
The changes in the installation process do not affect the compatibility with older SDK versions.
-
If you have an older SDK installed on your system and want to add a component or upgrade existing components, see Add/Upgrade/Remove webOS TV SDK Components.
-
When you install a new version of the SDK, files and directories under the CLI directory are removed.
SDK Auto-Update (Available from v4.0.4 or above)
On system start-up, a prompt is displayed when a component is available for install OR when an update is available for an installed component OR when an update is available for the Component Manager. To proceed, run the Component Manager. For details, see Add/Upgrade/Remove webOS TV SDK Components. [FAQ]
The SDK installation allows you to install the required SDK components. It provides two executable files: minimal installer and full package installer, using which the SDK must be installed. Once installed, any further changes to the installation (adding, updating, or removing SDK components) must be done by using the Component Manager that is provided in the SDK installation directory.
