Step 1: Update the OpenROV Software
Connect to your BeagleBone from your workstation. I use SSH so I do the following. Your environment may be different (use the IP if you haven't setup name resolution).

This will create a secure connection to the host named: beagle and try to authenticate with the user: rov

After you enter your password when prompted the OpenROV software will shutdown.

These three lines make a backup of your current OpenROV and download the new version.

Start the OpenROV again.

If the OpenROV doesn't start and you see this lines that contain npm errors: "npm ERR!" you can do the following.

This process will run for a few minutes and when done you can startup OpenROV again.
