flox update command
NAME
flox-update - update the global base catalog or an environment’s base catalog
SYNOPSIS
flox [<general-options>] update
[--global | (-d=<path> | -r=<owner>/<name>)]
DESCRIPTION
Update an environment’s base catalog, or update the global base catalog
if --global is specified.
The base catalog is a collection of packages used by various flox subcommands.
The global base catalog provides packages for
flox-search(1) and
flox-show(1) when not using an environment, and it
is used to initialize an environment’s base catalog.
An environment’s base catalog provides packages for
flox-search(1) and
flox-show(1) when using that environment, and it
provides packages for flox-install(1) and
flox-upgrade(1).
Note that updating an environment’s base catalog and upgrading packages
are two separate options. Upgrading packages will usually require
running an update command followed by a
flox-upgrade.
