Quick Install git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USER/update-manager.git cd update-manager
sudo mkdir -p /opt/update-manager sudo cp update-manager.sh /opt/update-manager/ sudo chmod +x /opt/update-manager/update-manager.sh
sudo ln -s /opt/update-manager/update-manager.sh /usr/local/bin/update-manager SSH Setup (Required) Update Manager uses SSH to connect to your hosts.
You must have SSH key-based authentication set up (no password prompts).
Generate SSH key (if not already done) ssh-keygen -t ed25519 Copy key to hosts ssh-copy-id user@192.168.1.10 ssh-copy-id user@192.168.1.20 ssh-copy-id user@192.168.1.30 Test connection ssh user@192.168.1.10 You should be able to connect without entering a password.
⚠️ If SSH is not configured, the tool will fail or hang during execution.
