Upgrade Bun to the latest version

Bun upgrades itself with the built-in bun upgrade command.

$ bun upgrade

bun upgrade downloads and installs the latest stable version of Bun, replacing the currently installed version.

Verify the upgrade

After upgrading, verify the new version:

$ bun --version
Output: 1.x.y

# See the exact commit of the Bun binary
$ bun --revision
Output: 1.x.y+abc123def

Upgrade to canary builds

Canary builds are released on every commit to the main branch. They're untested, but useful for trying new features or verifying bug fixes before a release.

$ bun upgrade --canary

Switch back to stable

If you're on a canary build and want to return to the latest stable release:

$ bun upgrade --stable

Install a specific version

To install a specific version of Bun, use the install script with a version tag:

$ curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash -s "bun-v1.3.14"

> iex "& {$(irm https://bun.sh/install.ps1)} -Version 1.3.14"

Package manager users

If you installed Bun with a package manager, upgrade with that package manager instead of bun upgrade to avoid conflicts.
