Upgrade the Astra CLI

Keep the Astra CLI up to date to access new features, improvements, and security updates.

If you’re upgrading from version 0.6 or earlier, see Upgrade from pre-1.0 versions of the Astra CLI.

If you used a package manager to install the Astra CLI, such as Homebrew, then you must use the same package manager to upgrade the Astra CLI.

Upgrade with astra upgrade

You can use the astra upgrade command on macOS, Linux, or Microsoft Windows if you did not install the Astra CLI with a package manager.

On Windows, run the following commands in a PowerShell terminal.

Run the astra upgrade command to upgrade to the latest version of the Astra CLI:
```
astra upgrade
```
To upgrade to a specific version, use the --version option:
```
astra upgrade --version VERSION
```
You can also use this command to downgrade to a previous version.
Check the Astra CLI version to verify that the upgrade was successful:
```
astra --version
```
The response returns your Astra CLI version.

```
brew upgrade datastax/astra-cli/astra
```
Check the Astra CLI version to verify that the upgrade was successful:
