### Using the installer

Simply run the installation script with the argument `-u`. If you already have the installation script, execute it like:

```shell
./swx-bridge-install.sh -u
```

If you don’t have the script, download it and execute it:

```shell
curl http://<swxtch-ip>/swx/services/install/swx-bridge-install.sh -o swx-bridge-install.sh; chmod +x swx-bridge-install.sh; ./swx-bridge-install.sh -u
```
