Update MAX

If you've already installed MAX, follow these instructions to get the latest version, instead of repeating the install guide.

First, check your current version like this:

max --version

And compare your version to the latest stable version in the MAX changelog. Or if you installed a nightly build, look for release announcements in this Discord channel.

If it's time for an update, here's what to do:

Stable

1. Make sure you have the latest modular CLI:

   sudo apt update \
     && sudo apt install modular

2. Update the max package:

   modular update max

3. Upgrade the max-engine Python package:

   MAX_PATH=$(modular config max.path) \
     && python3 -m pip install --upgrade --find-links $MAX_PATH/wheels max-engine

Nightly

1. Make sure you have the latest modular CLI:

   sudo apt update \
     && sudo apt install modular

2. Update the max package:

   modular update nightly/max

3. Upgrade the max-engine Python package:

   MAX_NIGHTLY_PATH=$(modular config max-nightly.path) \
     && python3 -m pip install --upgrade --find-links $MAX_NIGHTLY_PATH/wheels max-engine

Now you should be all set with the latest version of MAX!
