Command definition

update.md
description: Upgrade reolink-cli + reolink-gateway to the latest release

Upgrade the installed binaries to the latest release.

1. Run the built-in updater:

   reolink-cli self-update --yes

It checks the latest GitHub release, compares against the installed version, and — if newer — downloads the archive for this platform and replaces both `reolink-cli` and `reolink-gateway` in place. If already current it prints `already up to date` and does nothing. Stop a running gateway first (`pkill reolink-gateway` on Unix; `Stop-Process -Name reolink-gateway` on Windows) so the binary file isn't locked.

2. Report the pre- and post-upgrade version (`reolink-cli --version`).

Notes:

  • `self-update` targets the public GitHub release. Set `REOLINK_UPDATE_REPO`

(`owner/repo`) to point at a fork/mirror, or `GITHUB_TOKEN` for a private repo.

  • Windows self-update is not wired (it fetches `.tar.gz`); on Windows, download

the latest `...-windows-x86_64.zip` from the Releases page and extract `bin\` over the installed copy, or re-run `install.ps1` from a fresh tarball.

  • Re-run `reolink-cli completions …` after upgrading if you use shell completion.
