NAME

       fwupdmgr — firmware update manager client utility

SYNOPSIS

       fwupdmgr [CMD]

DESCRIPTION

       fwupdmgr  is  a command line fwupd client intended to be used interactively.  The terminal output between
       versions of fwupd is not guaranteed to be stable, but if you plan on  parsing  the  results  then  adding
       --json might be just what you need.

       There  are  also graphical tools to firmware available for GNOME and KDE.  These applications may be more
       useful to many users compared to using the command line.

       • GNOME Software: <https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software>

       • GNOME Firmware: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/gnome-firmware>

       • KDE Discover: <https://userbase.kde.org/Discover>

       On most systems fwupd is  configured  to  download  metadata  from  the  Linux  Vendor  Firmware  Service
       https://fwupd.org/ and more information about the LVFS is available here: https://lvfs.readthedocs.io/

       Most  users  who  want to just update all devices to the latest versions can do fwupdmgr refresh and then
       fwupdmgr update.  At this point the system will asking for confirmation, update  some  devices,  and  may
       then reboot to deploy other updates offline.
