When you update Screenly through Balena, do you need to execute the following command in the HOST OS or MAIN terminal?

```auto
$ bash <(curl -sL https://www.screenly.io/install-ose.sh)

```

Also, Screenly update asks thing like Networkmanageretc. what are the recommended settings?

Sorry being total new to this!

Balena is different. In essence, you manage your device(s) from your workstation/laptop instead of directly on the device. You can read more about code deployments [here](https://www.balena.io/docs/learn/welcome/primer/#code-deployment).

In short, it usually looks something like this:

```auto
$ cd /path/to/code/base
$ git pull
$ git push balena master 

```

Balena will then build a new image and push it out to your device(s).
