Document how to update volta version #1234

Open runspired opened 2 years ago

runspired commented 2 years ago

Currently the docs don't have anything on the preferred way to update the version. I'm assuming re-running the curl command is the preferred way, though it's not clear if this would add volta into the path a second time.

Any news here? Thanks!

@abdonrd No updates on any docs changes, but the recommended way to update is to run the installer again (cURL command on MacOS/Linux or the new MSI installer on Windows). The installers are smart enough to upgrade if there's an existing installation already set up.

Can this just be made official (or stated clearly) in the docs?

It would be even better if Volta just automatically checked if a more up to date version existed and prompted the user to update. But if nothing else, it seems like something that should be mentioned in the docs.

I only figured out the proper way to update by searching and stumbling across this issue.
