How to install this Plex Media Server update

This depends largely on where you’re running Plex Media Server. Should you be using one of the best NAS for Plex, it’s an easy process that can usually be accomplished in a few moments using your NAS web UI. I’d still carry out the process manually by downloading the update from Plex and uploading it to your server.
