Excalidraw CLI

excalidraw update

Update the CLI to the latest version.

Look up the latest version on npm and install it with the package manager that installed the CLI: npm, pnpm, yarn, bun or Volta.

excalidraw update [options]
OptionDescription
--checkOnly report whether a newer version is available.

Examples

excalidraw update
excalidraw update --check

Notes

  • The package manager's output goes to stderr, so stdout carries only the JSON result.
  • A CLI run through npx, pnpm dlx or bunx, or installed as a project dependency, isn't updated: the command says what to run instead.
  • When a newer version is out, commands run in a terminal say so, at most once a day. Set EXCALIDRAW_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1 to turn that off. The check uses npm_config_registry if set.
