Questions
I’m on v2; what do I need to do to update?
- Windows Users: Please download the installer from here and install over your existing installation.

This may lead to unexpected behavior when you’re using a download client that’s configured to download to your home directory. If this applies to you, please install Sonarr to run as system tray application instead.

You really should not be on develop unless you plan to actively assist in troubleshooting potentially broken builds.
Common Problem Warning:
It’s 2021, Sonarr v3 now validates SSL certificates. This will likely be a common problem. If you get any download client or other similar connection errors and the logs indicate certificate issues. Please see this FAQ entry first.
