What is the problem?
Can't manage to update OctoPi as a newbie & intermittent user.
Background
Nearly 2 years ago I got an Ender 3, Raspberry PI 3 (+?) ... and it took a long hard day with many manual step by step instructions to get the raspberry pi up and running, working with peripherals, its touch screen, install octopi, etc. so I could get it access in a browser, upload a file via wifi and hit print.
Once that was done, I have depended on the internal update features of OctoPI, but gotten stuck a number of months ago.
I am on : 1.3.12
The update all button is there, but it does not work.
This is my Software Update page:
This version of the Python environment is not supported for direct updates.
To reduce the likelihood of running into update problems in outdated environments, the following minimal versions are required to use this updater to update OctoPrint or any installed plugins:
- Python: 2.7.9 (you have: 2.7.9)
- pip: 9.0.3 (you have: 9.0.1)
- setuptools: 39.0.1 (you have: 5.5.1)
Please take a look at this FAQ entry on how to proceed.

Check for update now
I go from

And am none the wiser as to how to do ^^^^
What did you already try to solve it?
There are FAQ, do this, that, etc ... but they never have the exact concrete steps as to: do this here, do that there ... simply a vague do x, but if this then ... and there we go, one article leads to another ... and I end up with 10 open tabs and nothing updated or fixed.
These things may be self-evident to unix / Linux / ... CLI enthusiasts and experts in the field ... but connect to ??? via ???
I'm sorry, but since installation my interaction to my OctoPi has been as following:
I connect to OctoPrint in my browser via 192.168.0.xx (static IP address) , give it my username and password, connect to the printer, upload a file, print.
I never touched or updated the raspberry pi since, never interacted with octoprint outside of what it prompts me to do, which worked great, until maybe 6 months ago (?) and then whatever was not up to date ... and every time I look further ...

Long story short.
As a complete Raspberry PI & OctoPrint novice / newbie ...
I would sincerely welcome a few pointers as to how to get back on track.
PS: I use OS X, pretty much stock system, with Safari as a browser.
