Updating OpenCore and Patches
This guide explains how to get fully up to date application, bootloader and patches.
Updating the application
Latest versions of OCLP can download updates by themselves, you will get notified of a new update with the changelog.
You can also manually download the latest release here.
Updating patches
After the update, the application asks if you want to update OpenCore and root patches.
If you do not need to change any settings, you can click "Yes" and follow the procedure. OCLP will always build with developer set default settings.
If you use settings that deviate from OCLP defaults, select "no" from here and do your settings, then manually build and install OpenCore to update to the latest version of the bootloader and finally install new root patches to ensure you're running on the latest fixes. Refer to Why are the settings "not saving"? for explanation on why the settings have to be redone.
Checking OCLP and OpenCore versions
To check what version of OpenCore bootloader and the Patcher you're currently running, you can run the following in the terminal:
# 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 that we're running a RELEASE version of OpenCore 0.9.0 built on January 1st, 2023 with Patcher Version 0.6.0!
