This section describes how to upgrade the chectl management tool.

Prerequisites

Run the following command in the terminal to update chectl to the latest version.
```
# chectl update
```
The command updates chectl based on its current channel.

Two update channels are available for chectl: stable and next.

stable is for the latest released version of Eclipse Che.

next is updated after each activity in master branch of the chectl repository.

To move to a different channel, invoke the update with the name of the channel as an optional argument.

# chectl update [next|stable]
