How to 'update' the Stripe CLI to its latest version (Looking for documents/instructions)

[kwhjvdkamp]

Problem

What are you trying to do? Learning on Stripe > [Environment: Windows, IDE: VSCode with terminal: Bash] > $ 'stripe listen' responded with: A newer version of the Stripe CLI is available, please update to: v1.5.6.

Looking for something like 'npm update' does not update/upgrade the Stripe CLI, nor documentation can be found 'how to' (only updating objects e.g. but that's not I wanted). In case I have to download the newest version from GitHub, do I have to uninstall the current version? If so, how to uninstall the current version of Stripe CLI? How to go uninstalling the Stripe CLI with scoop (recommended to windows developers by Stripe isn't it?). Updating/upgrading Stripe CLI is not so obvious like 'npm update' (packages update)?

Feature

What would help you accomplish your original task

1. https://github.com/stripe/stripe-cli/releases
2. Download 'your version' (for my *_x86_64.zip)
3. Unzipping and executing the executable on 'cmd' (or 'ps')

Phenomenon: no latest version even after removing it version re-adding:

Documentation / instruction at the spot of 'installing the Stripe CLI', might be a suggestion.

Examples

Any example interaction you expect however still 1.5.5

Thanks for the suggestion! This is a bit tricky depending on how you installed the CLI and what operating system you're on. It's hard to detect if the user installed from a package manager (like homebrew or apt) and we want to be careful about not recommending them to manually download if the package manager can do it.

Similarly, if you installed it manually it's quite tricky to download a binary from the internet and replace it in place, especially without escalated permissions (which we want to avoid asking users to do).

We'll keep looking into this but I'm not sure if we'll have a solution in the near term though.

To upgrade Stripe CLI to the latest version, run: for mac: brew upgrade stripe/stripe-cli/stripe

Thanks Mr. Harshad-AKA-Sparrow! However, I am on good old, for many out-there 'horrible' winloss, so what should I run? Can't fake a mac brew on 'winloss' though!

I'm on v1.5.5

Running brew upgrade stripe/stripe-cli/stripe gives me:

Warning: stripe/stripe-cli/stripe 1.5.5 already installed
