Upgrade Process

The Telepresence CLI periodically checks for new versions and notifies you when an upgrade is available. Upgrading is done by installing the latest version the same way you installed the current one: follow the steps on the install page and the new version will replace the old.

Before upgrading, stop any live Telepresence processes with telepresence quit -s.

A few notes:

• The package installers (the macOS .pkg, the Linux .deb/.rpm packages, and the Windows setup installer) replace the previous version and restart the root daemon service.
• Homebrew users upgrade with brew upgrade telepresenceio/telepresence/telepresence-oss.
• When replacing a manually downloaded binary on an Apple silicon Mac, remove the old binary first (sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/telepresence). macOS tracks the executable's signature, and updating the file in place will not work.

The Telepresence CLI contains an embedded Helm chart. See Install/Uninstall the Traffic Manager if you also want to upgrade the Traffic Manager in your cluster.
