[!CAUTION]\n\u003e # ⛔️ This project is no more\n\u003e\n\u003e This tool is deprecated and no longer maintained.\n\u003e\n\u003e Consider using:\n\u003e - `ipfs update --help` provided by Kubo itself

Try updating\n`ipfs-update` (either by the above `go get` command or through gobuilder).\n\n#### version\n\n`$ ipfs-update version`\n\nPrints out the version of ipfs that is currently installed.\n\n#### versions\n\n`$ ipfs-update versions`\n\nPrints out all versions of ipfs available for installation.\n\n#### install\n\n`$ ipfs-update install \u003cversion\u003e`\n\nDownloads, tests, and installs the specified version (or \"latest\" for\nlatest version) of ipfs. The existing version is stashed in case a revert is needed.\n\n#### revert\n\n`$ ipfs-update revert`\n\nReverts to the previously installed version of ipfs. This\nis useful if the newly installed version has issues and you would like to switch\nback to your older stable installation.\n\n#### fetch\n\n`$ ipfs-update fetch [version]`\n\nDownloads the specified version of ipfs into your current\ndirectory. This is a plumbing command that can be utilized in scripts or by\nmore advanced users.\n\n## Install Location\n\n`ipfs-update` tries to intelligently pick the correct install location for\nKubo.\n\n1. If you have Kubo (`ipfs`) installed, `ipfs-update` will install over your existing install.\n2. If you have a Go development environment setup, it will install Kubo along\n   with all of your other go programs.\n3. Otherwise, it will try to pick a sane, writable install location.\n\nSpecifically, `ipfs-update` will install Kubo according to the following\nalgorithm:\n\n0. If Kubo (`ipfs`) is already installed and in your PATH, `ipfs-update` will\n   replace it. `ipfs-update` will _fail_ if it can't and won't try to install\n   elsewhere.\n1. If Go is installed:\n  1. [GOBIN][go-env] if GOBIN is in your PATH.\n  2. For each `$path` in GOPATH, `$path/bin` if it's in your PATH.\n2. On Windows:\n  1. The current directory if it's writable and in your PATH.\n  2. The directory where the ipfs-update executable lives if it's executable and in your path.\n  3. The directory where the ipfs-update executable lives if it's executable and in your current working directory.\n3. On all platforms _except_ Windows:\n  1. If root:\n    1. `/usr/local/bin` if it exists, is writable, and is in your PATH.\n    2. `/usr/bin` if it exists, is writable, and is in your PATH.\n  2. `$HOME/.local/bin` if it exists, is writable, and is in your PATH.\n  3. `$HOME/bin` if it exists, is writable, and is in your PATH.\n  4. `$HOME/.local/bin` if we can create it and it's in your PATH.\n  5. `$HOME/bin` if we can create it and it's in your PATH.\n\n[go-env]: https://golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Environment_variables\n\n## Custom IPFS gateway URL\n\nBy default, `ipfs-update` uses https://ipfs.io as the gateway URL. If you wish to use your own IPFS gateway URL, please export it via the environment variable `IPFS_GATEWAY`.\n\nFor example:\n\n```sh\n$ IPFS_GATEWAY=\"https://dweb.link\" ipfs-update install latest\n```\n\n## Contribute\n\nFeel free to join in.
