Updating C5

C5 can update itself. One command gets you the newest version.

Update now #

bash

growther update

This downloads the latest release, checks that it is genuine, and installs it.

Just check, do not install #

Want to see if there is something new without changing anything?

bash

growther update --check

It tells you your version, the latest version, and whether you should update.

Update and restart #

If you run C5 as a background service, this updates it and restarts it in one step:

bash

growther update --restart

Update the way you installed #

If you used Homebrew:

bash

brew upgrade growther-c5

If you used the install script, run the same one-line command from Installation again. It will replace your copy with the newest one.

Go back to the older version #

If a new version gives you trouble, you can step back to the one you had before:

bash

growther rollback

Your data is not touched. Only the program file changes.

Every update is checked #

Every release is published with a fingerprint and a signature. Before C5 installs an update, it checks both. If either one does not match, the update stops and nothing is installed.

This means you can only ever end up running a version that Growther.ai actually built and signed. See Verify what you run.

Release channels #

Most people should stay on the stable channel, which is the default. If you want early versions, you can switch:

bash

GROWTHER_CHANNEL=beta growther update

Channel	Who it is for
`stable`	Everyone. Tested and ready for daily use.
`beta`	People who want new features early and can hit bugs.
`dev`	Testing only. Expect rough edges.
