Upgrade the Sitecore Command Line Interface to the latest version

Sitecore Command Line Interface (CLI) is a tool that you install in PowerShell.

To upgrade an existing CLI installation to the latest version:

1. Update the CLI version:

   shell

   dotnet tool update sitecore.cli

   Note

   To update to a specific version, you can use the command with a --version flag, and provide the required version: dotnet tool update sitecore.cli --version 6.0.18.

2. Make sure all plugins are updated to the latest versions.

   • To update the default plugins, run the following command:

     shell

     dotnet sitecore plugin init --overwrite

3. Check your Sitecore CLI version using the following command:

   shell

   dotnet sitecore --version

   If your CLI was updated successfully, the command returns the number of the latest version.

4. To update the JSON schema, run the following command in your project folder:

   shell

   dotnet sitecore init

5. Check the installed plugins using the following command:

   shell

   dotnet sitecore plugin list

   If your CLI plugins were updated successfully, the command returns the following:

   shell

   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Database v.{version}
   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Indexing v.{version}
   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Publishing v.{version}
   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.ResourcePackage v.{version}
   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.Serialization v.{version}
   Sitecore.DevEx.Extensibility.XMCloud v.{version}
