# Upgrading

After the first install, upgrade with the CLI itself:

```bash
ariadnev update            # self-update to the latest release, sha256-verified
ariadnev update --check    # only report whether a newer version exists (offline-safe)
```

`update` resolves the latest release from `https://ariadnev.com/version`, downloads the matching binary, verifies its sha256 against the published checksums, and replaces the installed binary in place. Add `--global` when the binary lives in a global location you chose at install time.

## Reinstalling the kit after an upgrade

The binary and the kit it embeds move together. After updating, re-run `ariadnev install` for the providers you use so their artifacts match the new receipt, then `ariadnev doctor` to confirm.

## Version and release notes

```bash
ariadnev --version
```

Every release ships its own [release notes](/en/stable/release-notes/), and this documentation is versioned alongside it — the version selector switches between the current stable release and the previous one.
