Is there a terminal command to upgrade from 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 ?

IMHO, deleting and re-installing the whole thing isn’t that difficult (at least, under *nix).

1. rm -rf {your-old-julia-binary-folder}

2. using @fredrikekre’s command

   However, updating is as easy as downloading and extracting, so you could do something like

   $ curl https://julialang-s3.julialang.org/bin/linux/x64/1.1/julia-1.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.gz |
     tar -xz -C /path/to/some/directory
   

   Given that your shell history size is large enough, you may retrieve the /path/to/some/directory by reverse search Ctrl+r.

This is quicker and cleaner the overwriting existing Julia’s directory. For installed packages, ~/.julia/ with automatically take care of them. For instance, you have v1.0 and v1.1 in ~/.julia/compiled.

In practice, Pkg> st and Pkg> update in the new version will take care of everything.
