If your Blade CLI version is outdated, you can run the following command to
automatically download and install the latest version of Blade CLI:
blade update
Blade CLI is updated frequently, so it’s recommended to update your Blade CLI
environment for new features. You can check the released versions of Blade CLI
on Nexus by inspecting the
com.liferay.blade.cli.
artifact. You can check your current installed version by running blade version. When running blade version, you are notified if there’s a newer
Blade CLI version available.
Although Blade CLI is frequently released, if you want bleeding edge features
not yet available, you can install the latest snapshot version:
blade update -s
This pulls the latest snapshot version of Blade CLI and installs it to your
local machine. Running blade version after installing a snapshot displays
output similar to this:
blade version 3.3.1.SNAPSHOT201811301746
Be careful; snapshot versions are unstable and should only be used for
experimental purposes.
Awesome! You’ve successfully learned how to update Blade CLI.
