Updating

Updating

Keep Agdi up to date.

Recommended: agdi update

The fastest way to update. It detects your install type (npm or git), fetches the latest version, runs agdi doctor, and restarts the gateway.

agdi update

To switch channels or target a specific version:

agdi update --channel beta
agdi update --tag main
agdi update --dry-run   # preview without applying

See Development channels for channel semantics.

Alternative: re-run the installer

curl -fsSL https://agdi.ai/install.sh | bash

Add --no-onboard to skip onboarding. For source installs, pass --install-method git --no-onboard.

Alternative: manual npm or pnpm

npm i -g agdi@latest

pnpm add -g agdi@latest

Auto-updater

The auto-updater is off by default. Enable it in ~/.agdi/agdi.json:

{
  update: {
    channel: "stable",
    auto: {
      enabled: true,
      stableDelayHours: 6,
      stableJitterHours: 12,
      betaCheckIntervalHours: 1,
    },
  },
}

Channel	Behavior
stable	Waits stableDelayHours, then applies with deterministic jitter across stableJitterHours (spread rollout).
beta	Checks every betaCheckIntervalHours (default: hourly) and applies immediately.
dev	No automatic apply. Use agdi update manually.

The gateway also logs an update hint on startup (disable with update.checkOnStart: false).

After updating

1. Run doctor
2. agdi doctor
   

3. Migrates config, audits DM policies, and checks gateway health. Details: Doctor
4. Restart the gateway
5. agdi gateway restart
   

6. Verify
7. agdi health
   

Rollback

Pin a version (npm)

npm i -g agdi@<version>
agdi doctor
agdi gateway restart

Tip: npm view agdi version shows the current published version.

Pin a commit (source)

git fetch origin
git checkout "$(git rev-list -n 1 --before=\"2026-01-01\" origin/main)"
pnpm install && pnpm build
agdi gateway restart

To return to latest: git checkout main && git pull.
