bl upgrade

Upgrade the Blaxel CLI to the latest version

Synopsis

Upgrade the Blaxel CLI to the latest version. This command automatically detects your installation method and updates the CLI in the correct location to avoid version conflicts. Supported installation methods:
  • Homebrew (brew)
  • Manual installation (install.sh)
  • Direct binary download
After upgrading, the Blaxel agent skills (https://github.com/blaxel-ai/agent-skills) are installed or refreshed globally so coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, …) stay up to date. Set BL_INSTALL_SKILLS=false to skip this. Examples:

Upgrade to the latest version

Upgrade to a specific version

Force reinstall even if already on latest version
