Hi,

I use sudo sudo npm update -g cordova ionic to update frameworks. Is’t the right procedure?

Correct, npm update is a built in function for node that will any packages you have installed. If things aren’t updating correctly, you can always run

sudo npm uninstall -g ionic && sudo npm install ionic

A question. This command is for update the framework.

How to upgrade a solution or package via command line?

The simple solution is download the latest Ionic package and overwrite files into lib folder with thats of downloaded pack, but version.json file is not updated.

so npm update -g ionic and ionic build ios, e.g. will not update the project? And it will NOT “making new ionic features available”?

This should be possible.

$ sudo npm update -g ionic will update the CLI.

$ sudo npm update -g cordova will update the cordova CLI, which ionic is built onto of.

cordova platform update [platform] updates a project to use the latest version of cordova (3.4.0 to 3.4.1)

We don’t have a CLI command to update the local copies of Ionic (the project css and javascript), but I mention it to the devs you can make an issue for it on the github page

If your project was made by our CLI, follow the directions in the readme file

It should be in the nightly builds, which you can get with this bower command.

bower install driftyco/ionic-bower#master

After you update your global install of cordova, you need to update each project as well.

$ cordova platform update android
   
$ cordova platform update ios

Hey There!

So could you provide the output from ionic -v and cordova -v in your command line?

Also, node -v and npm -v?
