## Run  hourly

To run the update command daily, you can use the `crontab` command.

To see if you have an existing `crontab` file, you can list it by running this:

    crontab -l > ~/.crontab

Edit the `~/.crontab` file.

Add a line that runs the `nice` command and use the full path to the `update` command:

    @hourly /usr/bin/nice /foo/bar/update

Then install the file:

    crontab ~/.crontab
