Updating GeoEngine
To update to the latest version, run:
GeoEngine detects how it was originally installed (Homebrew, curl, or PowerShell) and upgrades using the same method. After the binary is updated, it automatically runs geoengine patch to bring all workers, GIS plugins, and agent skills in sync with the new version.
A typical update looks like this:
Detected install method: Homebrew
==> brew update
==> brew upgrade geoengine
==> Upgrading nikageospatial/geoengine/geoengine
0.6.1 -> 0.6.4
