Description

The dotnet tool update command provides a way for you to update .NET tools on your machine to the latest stable version of the package. The command uninstalls and reinstalls a tool, effectively updating it. To use the command, you specify one of the following options:

  • To update a global tool that was installed in the default location, use the --global option
  • To update a global tool that was installed in a custom location, use the --tool-path option.
  • To update a local tool, use the --local option.

Arguments

  • PACKAGE_ID

    Name/ID of the NuGet package that contains the .NET global tool to update. You can find the package name using the dotnet tool list command.

Options

  • --add-source <SOURCE>

    Adds an additional NuGet package source to use during installation. Feeds are accessed in parallel, not sequentially in some order of precedence. If the same package and version is in multiple feeds, the fastest feed wins. For more information, see What happens when a NuGet package is installed?.

  • --allow-downgrade

    Allow package downgrade when installing or updating a .NET tool package. Suppresses the warning, "The requested version x.x.x is lower than existing version x.x.x."

  • --configfile <FILE>

    The NuGet configuration file (nuget.config) to use. If specified, only the settings from this file will be used. If not specified, the hierarchy of configuration files from the current directory will be used. For more information, see Common NuGet Configurations.

  • --disable-parallel

    Prevent restoring multiple projects in parallel.

  • --framework <FRAMEWORK>

    Specifies the target framework to update the tool for.

  • -g|--global

    Specifies that the update is for a user-wide tool. Can't be combined with the --tool-path option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path specifies that the tool to be updated is a local tool.

  • -?|-h|--help

    Prints out a description of how to use the command.

  • --ignore-failed-sources

    Treat package source failures as warnings.

  • --interactive

    Allows the command to stop and wait for user input or action. For example, to complete authentication.

  • --local

    Update the tool and the local tool manifest. Can't be combined with the --global option or the --tool-path option.

  • --no-cache

    Do not cache packages and HTTP requests.

  • --prerelease

    Include prerelease versions.

  • --tool-manifest <PATH>

    Path to the manifest file.

  • --tool-path <PATH>

    Specifies the location where the global tool is installed. PATH can be absolute or relative. Can't be combined with the --global option. Omitting both --global and --tool-path specifies that the tool to be updated is a local tool.

  • -v|--verbosity <LEVEL>

    Sets the verbosity level of the command. Allowed values are q[uiet], m[inimal], n[ormal], d[etailed], and diag[nostic]. For more information, see LoggerVerbosity.

  • --version <VERSION>

    The version range of the tool package to update to. This cannot be used to downgrade versions, you must uninstall newer versions first.

    Starting in .NET 8.0, --version Major.Minor.Patch refers to a specific major.minor.patch version, including unlisted versions. To get the latest version of a certain major.minor version instead, use --version Major.Minor.*.

Examples

  • dotnet tool update -g dotnetsay

    Updates the dotnetsay global tool.

  • dotnet tool update dotnetsay --tool-path c:\global-tools

    Updates the dotnetsay global tool located in a specific Windows directory.

  • dotnet tool update dotnetsay --tool-path ~/bin

    Updates the dotnetsay global tool located in a specific Linux/macOS directory.

  • dotnet tool update dotnetsay

    Updates the dotnetsay local tool installed for the current directory.

  • dotnet tool update -g dotnetsay --version 2.0.*

    Updates the dotnetsay global tool to the latest patch version, with a major version of 2, and a minor version of 0.

  • dotnet tool update -g dotnetsay --version (2.0.*,2.1.4)

    Updates the dotnetsay global tool to the lowest version within the specified range (> 2.0.0 && < 2.1.4), version 2.1.0 would be installed. For more information on semantic versioning ranges, see NuGet packaging version ranges.
