# upgrade

```bash lines theme={"system"}
qlty upgrade [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]
```

Upgrade the Qlty CLI

When run without a `--version` argument, this command checks if there is a newer version of the Qlty CLI available than the current version.

If there is a release to install, it will download and unpack it to a tempoary directory.

It will then rename the executable to replace the currently running executable, to complete the upgrade.

Finally, the upgrade command will attempt to install shell completions.
