-# Self-update the standalone binary to the latest release
-strix --update
-
-# ...or re-run the installer
-curl -sSL https://strix.ai/install | bash

-Installed with pipx, uv, or pip? `strix --update` prints the matching upgrade command instead (`pipx upgrade strix-agent`, `uv tool upgrade strix-agent`, `pip install --upgrade strix-agent`). Strix also shows a notice with the right command when a new version is available.
