Abstract

A computer-readable medium includes instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to receive an installation request from a remote device through a communication channel to update a software component associated with the processor. The processor identifies a capability library component that will be used to perform at least a portion of the installation request and retrieves and uses the capability library component from a local data store to perform the portion of the installation request if the local data store includes the capability library component. The processor requests the capability library component from the remote device if the local data store does not include the capability library component.
