How to update nikon firmware on cameras from ubuntu.

When you have linux there are some times you must find a way to do some things differently.

That time is one of those. Nikon firmwares are coming in exe files (windows) or mac files. But not linux.

But that doesn't mean you can't upgrade your firmware in your camera.

You need to do the following steps:

1. Download your firmware from the official link: https://downloadcenter.nikonimglib.com/en/index.html.
   
2. Download the Windows Firmware.
3. Copy the file to a new folder.
   
4. Open the terminal.
   
5. Go to the folder you put the folder (i.e. cd Desktop, cd Firmware).
6. Unpack the file with unrar e file.exe ( change "file" to what is the name of your filename of the firmware).
7. Format your SD card as per Nikon instructions within your camera.
   
8. Take out the sd card and put it into your PC.
9. Copy the two files that have been extracted (firmware.bin and gpsfirm.bin) to your sd card.
   
10. Then open your camera (with your sd card) and go to menu --> settings --> firmware.
    
11. And you will see the message to upgrade your firmware.
12. Don't close your camera until the upgrade is finished.
13. That's it how you do it from ubuntu.
