ibmcloud-update
updates the IBM Cloud CLI to the latest version
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
ibmcloud update [-f]
DESCRIPTION
ibmcloud update downloads and installs the most recent release of the IBM Cloud CLI over the current installation. Without -f it reports the available version and prompts before replacing the binary.The command updates only the core CLI. Plugins are versioned separately and are refreshed with ibmcloud plugin update.
PARAMETERS
-f
Force the update without confirmation. Root privileges are required.
ENVIRONMENT
IBMCLOUD_VERSION_CHECK
Set to `false` to stop the CLI from checking for new releases on every invocation. Equivalent to `ibmcloud config --check-version false`.
CAVEATS
The update writes to the installation directory, so it usually needs root privileges; run it with `sudo` or as an administrator.When the CLI was installed through a package manager or Homebrew, update it with that tool instead so the package database stays consistent.
HISTORY
ibmcloud update is part of the IBM Cloud CLI, which replaced the earlier `bluemix` (`bx`) CLI when Bluemix was rebranded to IBM Cloud around 2018.
