Update Command

The bruin update command allows you to update your Bruin CLI installation to the latest version directly from the command line.

Usage

bruin update [flags]

Description

The update command downloads and runs the official Bruin installation script, which:

1. Fetches the latest version of Bruin from GitHub releases
2. Downloads the appropriate binary for your operating system and architecture
3. Installs it to your local binary directory (typically ~/.local/bin)
4. Updates your shell configuration if needed

This eliminates the need to manually visit the website and run the installation command each time you want to update.

Examples

Update to Latest Version

Update to the latest version:

bruin update

Prerequisites

The update command requires either curl or wget to be installed on your system:

• curl: Available by default on macOS and most Linux distributions
• wget: Available on most Linux distributions, can be installed on macOS via Homebrew

Platform Notes

Windows

On Windows, make sure to run the update command in:

• Git Bash (recommended)
• WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux)

The command will warn you if you're on Windows to ensure you're using the correct terminal environment.

Shell Configuration

After updating, you may need to:

• Restart your shell, or
• Run source ~/.bashrc (bash), source ~/.zshrc (zsh), or equivalent for your shell

Error Handling

The command will fail gracefully if:

• Neither curl nor wget is available
• The download fails due to network issues
• The installation script encounters an error
• You don't have write permissions to the installation directory

Security

The update command uses the same installation script that's recommended in the official documentation:

• Downloads from https://getbruin.com/install/cli
• Uses HTTPS for secure downloads
• The script is maintained by the Bruin team and hosted on GitHub
