Upgrade from pre-1.0 versions of the Astra CLI
Astra CLI 1.0 and later do not support in-place upgrades from versions earlier than 1.0.
If you have an earlier version installed, you must delete the astra executable before you can install the latest version:

macOS and Linux
-
Homebrew
rm ~/.astra/cli/astraDelete custom installation
If you installed the Astra CLI to a custom location, you can use the following command to delete the astra executable if it exists in your PATH:
rm $(which astra)This command does not delete your Astra CLI home folder and configuration file (.astra and .astrarc).
Leave these files in place so that the new version of the Astra CLI can continue to connect using your existing configuration.
brew uninstall datastax/astra-cli/astra-cliUninstalling with Homebrew does not delete your Astra CLI home folder and configuration file (.astra and .astrarc).
Leave these files in place so that the new version of the Astra CLI can continue to connect using your existing configuration.
After you delete the old astra executable, follow the instructions in Install the Astra CLI to install the latest version.
