The `upgrade` command automates the process of upgrading the `stackql` binary to the latest available version. This ensures that your environment is up-to-date with the latest features, improvements, and security patches.
To upgrade the `stackql-deploy` binary itself, use your package manager:
import Tabs from '@theme/Tabs';
import TabItem from '@theme/TabItem';
<Tabs>
<TabItem value="macos" label="macOS (Homebrew)">
```bash
brew upgrade stackql-deploy
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="windows" label="Windows (Chocolatey)">
```powershell
choco upgrade stackql-deploy
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="linux" label="Linux">
Download the latest binary from the [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/stackql-labs/stackql-deploy-rs/releases) page.

## Examples
### Upgrade the `stackql` binary to the latest version
```bash
stackql-deploy upgrade
```
outputs...
```plaintext
upgrading stackql binary, current version v0.5.708...
stackql binary upgraded to v0.6.002.
```
If the `stackql` binary is already up-to-date, the command will notify you accordingly.
