# update

> Update runpodctl to the latest release, verify the downloaded binary with its SHA-256 checksum, and confirm the installed version.

Update `runpodctl` to the latest version to access new features and bug fixes.

<RequestExample>
  ```bash Command theme={null}
  runpodctl update
  ```
</RequestExample>

## Description

The `update` command downloads the latest version of `runpodctl` and verifies it against its SHA-256 checksum before replacing the installed binary. Verification always runs. If it fails, the update aborts and leaves your existing binary in place. After updating, verify the installation with [`runpodctl version`](/runpodctl/reference/runpodctl-version).
