# Updating OpenCore and Co.
|
||||
|
||||
With OpenCore Legacy Patcher, generally there's very little reason for users to update the OpenCore installed on their machine unless you feel there's a benefit with new versions for your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
For those who do wish to update, it's actually quite easy. Simply [download the latest release](https://github.com/dortania/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/releases) and rerun the patcher:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Then simply rebuild your OpenCore build and install again. Then voila, OpenCore is updated!
|
||||
|
||||
To check what version of OpenCore and Patcher version you're currently running, you can run the following in terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# OpenCore Version
|
||||
nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:opencore-version
|
||||
# Patcher Version
|
||||
nvram 4D1FDA02-38C7-4A6A-9CC6-4BCCA8B30102:OCLP-Version
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
From this, we can see we're running a RELEASE version of OpenCore 0.6.8 built on March 27th, 2021 with Patcher Version 0.0.20!
