Upgrading Mito Desktop

Notes on upgrading the desktop app and Mito AI packages.

How can I update the desktop app?

You can check for updates, by using the hamburger icon in the upper right corner, and selecting the Check for updates menu item. Download, and install the update as you normally would.

How can I update Mito AI?

Open a notebook in the desktop app, and in a new cell run:

pip install --upgrade mito-ai

Once the install is completed you can delete this cell.

Finally, restart the desktop app to finalize the changes.

Why are there separate update instructions for the desktop app and Mito AI?

The desktop app and Mito AI are updated differently because they’re technically separate parts of the same tool.

• The desktop app is the graphical program that makes it easy to use Mito on your computer. When you update the desktop app, you’re updating the user interface and bundled workspace.

• Mito AI, on the other hand, is the underlying Python package that powers the app. It’s installed inside the included workspace and can be updated independently using pip.

In most cases, the desktop app already includes the latest version of Mito AI. However, if you want early access to new features or bug fixes that haven’t yet shipped in the desktop app, you can manually upgrade the Mito AI package using pip install --upgrade mito-ai.
