# Self Update
|
|
|
|
## dcr --update
|
|
|
|
Automatic update to the latest version. Downloads a binary (not an archive) from GitHub Releases and replaces the current executable.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dcr --update
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
1. DCR detects the current platform and architecture
|
|
2. Fetches the latest release from `api.github.com/repos/dexoron/dcr/releases/latest`
|
|
3. Compares versions
|
|
4. Downloads the matching asset (direct binary URL, not archive)
|
|
5. Replaces the current executable via `self_replace`
|
|
|
|
## Asset naming
|
|
|
|
Pattern: `dcr-\<triple>` or `dcr-\<triple>.exe`
|
|
|
|
| Platform | Asset name |
|
|
| -------------- | -------------------------------- |
|
|
| Linux x86_64 | `dcr-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` |
|
|
| macOS x86_64 | `dcr-x86_64-apple-darwin` |
|
|
| macOS ARM64 | `dcr-aarch64-apple-darwin` |
|
|
| Windows x86_64 | `dcr-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe` |
|
|
|
|
## AUR
|
|
|
|
If DCR was installed via AUR, `--update` shows a warning:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Update via package manager: yay/paru -Syu {package_name} or sudo pacman -Syu {package_name}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Errors
|
|
|
|
* Cannot detect platform — error
|
|
* Cannot fetch release — error with URL
|
|
* No write permission — error (use `sudo` or manual install)
