If you used git or the installer, see AUTOUPDATE instead. If you didn't install using git clone or by running the installer, you can use this option to notify you when there are updates to plexupdate. Setting any of these to yes will enable the function. There are a few additional options for the more enterprising user. If you have any trouble with the installer, or would just prefer to set plexupdate up manually, read the guide. ( /opt/plexupdate/extras/installer.sh by default) If you'd ever like to change your configuration, just re-run the installer from the extras folder inside your plexupdate directory. This has been tested on Ubuntu, Fedora and CentOS but should, for the most part, work on any modern Linux distribution. Will automatically install the tool as well as any dependencies.
