Docs: Commands: update

Usage: skeema update [<options>]

Downloads the latest version of Skeema Premium CLI for your machine’s OS and architecture, and installs it by overwriting your previous skeema binary. For backup/downgrade purposes, the previous binary will still be retained, with a version suffix appended to its name.

By default, this command won’t permit updating to a higher major version number, for example from Skeema v1.x to v2 or higher. Some option behaviors and default values may change across major versions, so be sure to check online documentation before proceeding with a major-version update.

If your copy of Skeema Premium CLI is already the latest version, no action is taken.

This command is intended only for manual use on desktop systems. On Linux, a package manager should be used instead of this command in most situations.

Depending on where Skeema has been installed, you may need to use sudo when executing this command. Since root often has a restricted $PATH, supply a full binary path, for example: sudo /usr/local/bin/skeema update

This command is only available in Skeema Premium CLI, beginning in v1.7.0.
