meteor update

meteor update

Attempts to bring you to the latest version of Meteor, and then to upgrade your packages to their latest versions. By default, update will not break compatibility.

For example, let's say packages A and B both depend on version 1.1.0 of package X. If a new version of A depends on X@2.0.0, but there is no new version of package B, running meteor update will not update A, because doing so will break package B.

You can pass in the flag --packages-only to update only the packages, and not the release itself. Similarly, you can pass in names of packages (meteor update foo:kittens baz:cats) to only update specific packages.

Every project is pinned to a specific release of Meteor. You can temporarily try using your package with another release by passing the --release option to any command; meteor update changes the pinned release.

Sometimes, Meteor will ask you to run meteor update --patch. Patch releases are special releases that contain only very minor changes (usually crucial bug fixes) from previous releases. We highly recommend that you always run update --patch when prompted.

You may also pass the --release flag to act as an override to update to a specific release. This is an override: if it cannot find compatible versions of packages, it will log a warning, but perform the update anyway. This will only change your package versions if necessary.
