Keep the CLI up to date
When your paired CLI is out of date, update it in one tap from the app — no terminal needed.
- e.g. v2.61.18 → v2.61.22
- The CLI self-updates + relaunches
- Latest version, same session
The CLI ships fixes and new features often. When a paired session is running an older codeam-cli, the app surfaces a CLI update available banner with the exact version jump — so you never silently sit on a stale version.
The app notices when a paired session's CLI is behind and shows the current → latest version.
Tap Update now and the CLI updates itself on your machine and relaunches — you never leave the app or touch a terminal.
The update streams its progress back (updating → relaunching), and tells you if anything went wrong.
Prefer to do it by hand? Copy npm i -g codeam-cli@latest and run it in your terminal.
- 1Spot the banner
When a paired CLI is out of date, the "CLI update available" banner appears with the version jump.
- 2Tap "Update now"
The app asks your machine to self-update the CLI and relaunch the session.
- 3Watch it update
Progress streams back in real time; the session reconnects on the new version automatically.
- 4Or update manually
Copy
npm i -g codeam-cli@latest, run it in your terminal, and the banner clears on the next heartbeat.
Staying current matters: some features (like Environment Variables or the Session Baton) require a minimum CLI version, so an out-of-date CLI is the usual reason a newer feature "isn't available" on a session.
