Update

To update sabre/katana, you have two options.

In your browser

So far, only a message will prompt you, indicating how to update manually. We are working on an automatic update in the browser.

In your terminal

  1. First solution is manual but more common. It requires a ZIP archive. Download the latest versions with the following command:

    $ bin/katana update --fetch-zip

    You will find the archives in the data/share/update/ directory. To finish updating sabre/katana, simply run:

    $ unzip -u data/share/update/katana_vx.y.z.zip -d .
  2. Second solution is automatic but less common. It requires a PHAR archive. Download the latest versions with the following command:

    $ bin/katana update --fetch

    You will also find the archives in the data/share/update/ directory. To finish updating sabre/katana, simply run:

    $ bin/katana update --apply data/share/update/katana_vx.y.z.phar

    The PHAR is executable. For instance:

    $ php data/share/update/katana_vx.y.z.phar --signature

    or

    $ php data/share/update/katana_vx.y.z.phar --metadata

    will respectively print the signature and the metadata of this version. Use -h, -? or --help to get help.
