Upgrade the Sitecore Command Line Interface to version 6

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

Note

If you do not have a previous installation of the CLI in your project, follow the steps to install Sitecore Command Line Interface instead.

To upgrade an existing CLI installation from version 5.0.0 to version 6.0.18:

Update the CLI version to version 6.0.18:
RequestResponse
```
dotnet tool update sitecore.cli --version 6.0.18
```
Note

To update to the latest available version, you can use the command without providing a version: dotnet tool update sitecore.cli.
Make sure all plugins are updated to the latest versions.

- If you want to install the XM Cloud plugin, run the following command:
  RequestResponse

If your CLI was updated successfully, the command returns 6.0.18.
