To update using a computer
To initialise your PS4 system and perform a new installation of the system software, such as for when you replace the hard disk drive, click here and follow the directions.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be careful when using an update file for reinstallation. All users and all data will be deleted.
For the standard update procedure, follow the steps below.
The following things are needed to perform the update:
PS4 system
Computer connected to the Internet
USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive
* There must be approximately 300MB of free space.
1) On the USB storage device, create folders for saving the update file.
Using a computer, create a folder named "PS4". Inside that folder, create another folder named "UPDATE".
USB Storage Device - PS4 - UPDATE
2) Download the update file, and save it in the "UPDATE" folder you created in step 1.
Save the file with the file name "PS4UPDATE.PUP".

3) Turn off the power of your PS4 system completely. Check that the power indicator is not lit. If the power indicator is lit orange, touch the power button on the PS4 system for at least seven seconds (until the system beeps a second time).
4) Connect the USB storage device that the update file is saved on to your PS4 system, and then touch the power button for at least seven seconds. The PS4 system starts in safe mode.
5) Select [Update System Software]. Follow the screens to complete the installation.
If your PS4 system does not recognise the update file, check that the folder names and file name are correct. Enter the folder names and file name in single-byte characters using uppercase letters.

That was for the US version mate, the one above is the EU version.
EU PS4 owners can only use the EU version.
