How to update Nexus 5 to Lollipop

Hi. So my friend has LG Nexus 5 and he wants to update it to lollipop. How should he do it? On my Xperia I get update notifications but he didn't get any notifications. How to update it OFFICIALLY?

Re: How to update Nexus 5 to Lollipop

Welcome to Android Central! Did he buy it new or used? If used, could it be rooted, with a custom ROM installed? That usually prevents normal OTA updates from coming through.

If it's unrooted, did he ever clear the Google Services Framework in an effort to get the update? That can cause further problems.

He could always manually update, which is still official, since it's an official ROM that he'd be flashing:
