I had already updated to 1.3.5 via pip... but I downloaded 1.3.5 via rngit just for fun. Which files need to be installed? I see the rns.whl file but do you also install the rnpure file? What is rnpure? Thanks

Just the `rns-x.y.z-py3-none-any.whl` file is needed for install.

The `rnspure` distribution is explained in the manual, don't use it unless you know why you need to, and understand what that means.

Go to an empty/temporary directory and use this one-liner to update directly over Reticulum:

`rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch "latest:rns-*.whl" --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c && pip install ./rns-*.whl`

Strange, I could have sworn this post was not here last time I looked through the general category. Feel kinda stupid now after the post I made yesterday.
