To automatically update your mSupply client, simply start it running. If it needs an update (because the server has been updated, for example) it will automatically update itself. You will see messages with progress bars describing what's happening. The update process should take less than 5 minutes, depending on the speed of your connection to the mSupply server and the speed of your computer. When the process is complete you'll see the usual mSupply login screen. | To automatically update your mSupply client, simply start it running.
