#### How do I update Oh My Zsh?
|
||||
|
||||
Oh My Zsh automatically updates itself if left at the default settings. You can check out [[Settings]] for more information on how to change the update settings.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to manually update Oh My Zsh, you have 2 options:
|
||||
|
||||
- If running within your shell, you can use the CLI tool `omz` to force an update and restart the shell session:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
omz update
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- If you want to update Oh My Zsh as part of an automated script, its better to use the `upgrade.sh` script directly. You can call it with any of these alternatives:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
"$ZSH/tools/upgrade.sh" # $ZSH needs to be defined within the script
|
||||
zsh "$ZSH/tools/upgrade.sh"
|
||||
/path/to/ohmyzsh/tools/upgrade.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This script also allows you to pass in 2 separate flags to control its behavior:
|
||||
|
||||
- `-i`: tells the script to upgrade interactively. In this mode, the only change is that the changelog will be displayed after the update.
|
||||
- `-v default|minimal|silent`: control the verbosity of the script. This is equivalent to the [verbosity](https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/wiki/Settings#omzupdate-verbosity) settings.
|
||||
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> To upgrade Oh My Zsh, you need to have `git` installed and it needs to be installed as a git repository.
|
||||
> It is also required to be running with a user that has write access to the Oh My Zsh installation directory.

#### How do I uninstall Oh My Zsh?
|
||||
|
||||
To remove Oh My Zsh, run `uninstall_oh_my_zsh`. The uninstaller will:

#### How do I manually update Oh My Zsh from a script?
|
||||
|
||||
The best way to do that is to call the `upgrade.sh` script directly. If `$ZSH` is defined (it should point to where OMZ is installed), then you can call it like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
"$ZSH/tools/upgrade.sh"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Another option is to use the `omz` CLI. The `omz update` command triggers an update, but it also shows the changelog and restarts the zsh session (which _might_ cause a restart loop). To avoid that, run it with the `--unattended` flag, like so: `omz update --unattended`. But again, it's better to call the `upgrade.sh` script directly.
