To update Clother to the latest version, re-run the original install script. This downloads the newest release binary and installs it: 
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jolehuit/clother/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

​
What clother install does

clother install is also used to repair or re-sync an existing installation. It copies the currently running binary to the bin directory and refreshes all symlinks:
  • Copies the current clother binary to your bin directory
  • Locates the real claude binary and preserves it as claude-real if needed
  • Refreshes all clother-* provider launcher symlinks
  • Refreshes the claude shim symlink used for resume compatibility
  • Normalizes any legacy configuration and secrets files
  • Removes obsolete legacy files
clother install
When it completes, you will see a confirmation line showing where Clother is installed: 
installed Clother to /home/yourname/.local/bin
If you installed Clother to a custom directory using --bin-dir or the CLOTHER_BIN environment variable, clother install will use that same directory.

​
Checking the current version

After updating, run the following to confirm the installation and see the active bin directory: 
clother status

​
Automatic update notifications

Clother checks for new releases in the background (at most once every 24 hours). When a newer version is available, it prints a message to stderr before running: 
Update available: Clother v3.1.0 (current v3.0.2). Run: clother install
To disable the update check, set the environment variable: 
export CLOTHER_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1
You can override the metadata URL (useful for self-hosted releases) with: 
export CLOTHER_UPDATE_URL=https://your-server/latest.json
The update check cache is stored at ~/.cache/clother/update.json (overridable with CLOTHER_CACHE_DIR or XDG_CACHE_HOME).
