# Update

> Check for and install FlowDeck CLI updates

Update FlowDeck from the command line.

```bash theme={null}
# Install the latest version
flowdeck update

# Check for updates only
flowdeck update --check

# JSON output
flowdeck update --check --json
```

## Options

| Option       | Short | Description                          |
| ------------ | ----- | ------------------------------------ |
| `--check`    |       | Check for updates without installing |
| `--json`     | `-j`  | Output as JSON                       |
| `--examples` | `-e`  | Show usage examples                  |

## JSON Output

`flowdeck update --check --json` reports availability without installing:

```json theme={null}
{
  "schema": "flowdeck.update",
  "schemaVersion": "1.0.0",
  "success": true,
  "currentVersion": "1.2.3",
  "latestVersion": "1.3.0",
  "updateAvailable": true,
  "message": "A new version of FlowDeck is available"
}
```

When already up to date, `updateAvailable` is `false` and `latestVersion` equals `currentVersion`. On failure (e.g. no network), `success` is `false` and `message` describes the problem.
