Issues updating Plex

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Running on a plex on Debian Raspberry Pi.
I run weekly apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.
This time I noticed plex was asking me to uninstall two components and then to download a new package. I followed the on screen instructions but it seems the file name is wrong or I have typed it wrong a number of times. Here is what I am doing and the error:

pi@plexpi:~ $ sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.1.791_8bec0f76c_armhf.deb

dpkg: error: cannot access archive ‘plexmediaserver_1.15.1.791_8bec0f76c_armhf.deb’: No such file or directory

I am assuming the file name is wrong… how do I find the correct file name?

Sounds more like you’re doing a manual install…

This message basically just says that the command dpkg cannot find the file plexmediaserver_1.15.1.791_8bec0f76c_armhf.deb.

Can you confirm the file exists in the folder from which you perform the command?

If you haven’t downloaded the Plex Media Server software yet, do that at:
https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/

Once you’ve run the first two lines of code to uninstall the previous version, navigate to Downloads:
cd ~/Downloads

Then run the sudo command, replacing the given .deb filename with the name of the file you downloaded. The code they give is just an example. Yours will likely be different.
Theirs:
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.1.791-8bec0f76c_armhf.deb
yours might be:
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.2.793-782228f99_armhf.deb

Just use the name of the file you downloaded from the plex media server download page. Make sure you download it into /Downloads, or you’ll have to navigate to wherever you did save it to run your sudo command.

That is the answer I needed, thank you
