Updating and Uninstalling

Updating

Section titled “Updating”

With Homebrew

Section titled “With Homebrew”

If you installed Linkup via Homebrew, update through Homebrew:

Terminal window
brew upgrade linkup

With linkup update

Section titled “With linkup update”

If you installed Linkup via the install script, use the built-in update command:

Terminal window
linkup update

This stops any running Linkup session, downloads the latest binary for your platform, swaps it in place, and reports when it’s done. On Linux, it also re-applies the cap_net_bind_service capability needed to bind to ports 80/443.

To update to (or stay on) the pre-release channel, pass --channel beta:

Terminal window
linkup update --channel beta

To go back to stable:

Terminal window
linkup update --channel stable

The CLI caches the latest known release to avoid hitting the API on every command. To bypass that cache, pass --skip-cache:

Terminal window
linkup update --skip-cache

Uninstalling

Section titled “Uninstalling”
Terminal window
linkup uninstall

You will be asked to confirm before anything is removed. On confirmation, it:

  1. Stops any running Linkup session (linkup stop)
  2. Uninstalls Local DNS if it was installed (linkup local-dns uninstall)
  3. Removes the Linkup binary, using the right method for how you installed it (Homebrew, Cargo, or manual script)
  4. Removes the ~/.linkup/ directory and all state, certificates, and logs stored there
