Along with the release of Android 6.0 Marshmallow factory images, Google has also started to roll out OTA (over-the-air) updates to Nexus devices. Currently Android 6.0 OTA updates (build version MRA58K) are available for Nexus 9 W-Fi/LTE and Nexus 7 2013 LTE variants. However, your device should be running on the latest Android 5.1.1 Lollipop (LMY48T) to get the OTA update.
It will take some times to reach the Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA (over the air) update notification on your Nexus devices. Check it by going to Settings -> About Phone -> Software Updates. However, if you are excited to try the Android 6.0 Marshmallow on your device right now, you can install the OTA update (build version MRA58K) manually.
In this tutorial, we let you know to install Android 6.0 Marshmallow OTA update manually on Nexus devices.
However, your device should be running on stock recovery (not CWM/TWRP) and updated to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop (LMY48T).
