# ankra upgrade

> Upgrade the Ankra CLI to the latest release

## ankra upgrade

Download and install a specific Ankra CLI release, replacing the
currently running binary in place.

By default the command upgrades to the latest stable release. Install an
exact release with --version (for example --version v0.2.5, or --version
0.2.5). When a version is pinned the command installs it whether it is
newer, older or the same as the running binary, so --version doubles as a
downgrade: 'ankra upgrade --version v0.1.9' rolls back to that release.
Use --check to report whether a newer release is available without
installing anything.

When the beta channel is enabled (see 'ankra config beta enable') the
newest release including pre-releases (release candidates such as
v0.3.0-rc.1) is installed instead. Use --beta or --beta=false to override
the saved channel for a single run.

The downloaded binary is verified against its published SHA-256 checksum
before it replaces the existing executable.

```bash theme={null}
ankra upgrade [flags]
```
