4. Under Local repository, select one of the following:
   • If the local repository contains extracted archives or multiple zipped archives, select Folder (with extracted or zipped archives) and specify the folder.
     The path for the local Feko update repository must be an absolute file path which can point to an unmapped network share (Windows), mapped (mounted) network share or a directory on a local drive.

     Warning: Point the local repository path to the root folder of the updates.

     Example: The Feko updates for the Windows and Linux platforms were extracted and merged to C:\Updates. The path to the local repository points to C:\Updates.

     C:\Updates 
         └─FEKO_2022.0.x
                    └─WIN64_X86_64
                    └─LINUX_X86_64

   • If the local repository contains a single zipped archive, select File (zipped archive) and specify the zip file.
5. Click Save to save the local repository settings.
6. Update or upgrade to a new version.
