# autoUpdater
**This module has only been implemented for OS X.**
This module provides an interface for the `Squirrel` auto-updater framework.
Check out [atom/grunt-electron-installer](https://github.com/atom/grunt-electron-installer)
to build a Windows installer for your app.
## Platform notices
The `auto-updater` module is a simple wrapper around the
[Squirrel.Mac](https://github.com/Squirrel/Squirrel.Mac) framework.
Though `autoUpdater` provides an uniform API for different platforms, there are
still some subtle differences on each platform.
Squirrel.Mac requires that your `.app` folder is signed using the
[codesign](https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/codesign.1.html)
utility for updates to be installed.
### OS X
## Squirrel
On OS X the `autoUpdater` module is built upon [Squirrel.Mac][squirrel-mac], you
don't need any special setup to make it work. For server-side requirements, you
can read [Server Support][server-support].
Squirrel is an OS X framework focused on making application updates **as safe
and transparent as updates to a website**.
### Windows
Instead of publishing a feed of versions from which your app must select,
Squirrel updates to the version your server tells it to. This allows you to
intelligently update your clients based on the request you give to Squirrel.
On Windows you have to install your app into user's machine before you can use
the auto-updater, it is recommended to use [grunt-electron-installer][installer]
module to generate a Windows installer.
Your request can include authentication details, custom headers or a request
body so that your server has the context it needs in order to supply the most
suitable update.
The server-side setup is also different from OS X, you can read the documents of
[Squirrel.Windows][squirrel-windows] to get more details.
The update JSON Squirrel requests should be dynamically generated based on
criteria in the request and whether an update is required. Squirrel relies
on server-side support to determine whether an update is required. See
[Server Support](#server-support).
### Linux
Squirrel's installer is designed to be fault tolerant and ensures that any
updates installed are valid.
## Update Requests
Squirrel is indifferent to the request the client application provides for
update checking. `Accept: application/json` is added to the request headers
because Squirrel is responsible for parsing the response.
For the requirements imposed on the responses and the body format of an update
response, see [Server Support](#server-support).
Your update request must *at least* include a version identifier so that the
server can determine whether an update for this specific version is required. It
may also include other identifying criteria, such as operating system version or
username, to allow the server to deliver as fine grained an update as you
would like.
How you include the version identifier or other criteria is specific to the
server that you are requesting updates from. A common approach is to use query
parameters, like this:
```javascript
// In the main process
var app = require('app');
var autoUpdater = require('auto-updater');
autoUpdater.setFeedUrl('http://mycompany.com/myapp/latest?version=' + app.getVersion());
```
## Server Support
Your server should determine whether an update is required based on the
[Update Request](#update-requests) your client issues.
If an update is required, your server should respond with a status code of
[200 OK](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.2.1) and include the
[update JSON](#update-json-format) in the body. Squirrel **will** download and
install this update, even if the version of the update is the same as the
currently running version. To save redundantly downloading the same version
multiple times your server must not inform the client to update.
If no update is required your server must respond with a status code of
[204 No Content](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.2.5). Squirrel
will check for an update again at the interval you specify.
## Update JSON Format
When an update is available, Squirrel expects the following schema in response
to the update request provided:
```json
{
"url": "http://mycompany.com/myapp/releases/myrelease",
"name": "My Release Name",
"notes": "Theses are some release notes innit",

The only required key is "url"; the others are optional.
Squirrel will request "url" with `Accept: application/zip` and only supports
installing ZIP updates. If future update formats are supported their MIME type
will be added to the `Accept` header so that your server can return the
appropriate format.
`pub_date` (if present) must be formatted according to ISO 8601.
## Update server implementations
[Nuts](https://github.com/GitbookIO/nuts) is an open source implementation of the update server described above, it integrates beautifully with GitHub releases. Nuts manages downloads and updates, its compatible with `Squirrel.Mac` and `Squirrel.Windows` so you get cross-platform support out of the box.
There is not built-in support for auto-updater on Linux, it is recommended to
use the distribution's package manager to update your app.
