Upgrading the chectl management tool

This page is for platform administrators who install, configure, and manage Che on Kubernetes clusters. To learn more about common roles and example tasks referenced in Che documentation, see Common user roles and tasks.

This section describes how to upgrade the chectl management tool.

Prerequisites
Procedure

  • Run the following command in the terminal to update chectl to the latest version.

    # chectl update

    The command updates chectl based on its current channel.

Two update channels are available for chectl: stable and next.

  • stable is for the latest released version of Eclipse Che.

  • next is updated after each activity in the main branch of the chectl repository.

To move to a different channel, start the update with the name of the channel as an optional argument.

# chectl update [next|stable]
