Per the FAQ where you downloaded the update:  
**Download here:**  
[onefinity-1.0.9.tar.bz2](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/uploads/short-url/aAOdLNzjxc0WqfdILXSTO9LMalC.bz2) (2.2 MB)  
(sometimes, computers (esp macs) like to ‘unzip’ or decompress the file, ensure you are loading the full zipped file ending in .bz2)

**How To Install:**  
**Updating via USB**  
You’ll do an update via USB using the following steps:  
Copy the blue .bz2 file below onto a usb stick (it must be formatted as fat 32 or ntsf). Click the flyout menu (three bars on top left), general, under firmware click ‘UPLOAD’. Select the 1.0.9 file. Depending on your shipping date, **the password to update will either be buildbotics or onefinity**
