Updates and uninstallation
The new version notice, hinow-cli upgrade, versions and uninstall.
Updated on Sep 16, 2026
When you open it, HiNow Code checks downloads.hinow.ai and, if there's a new version, shows a notice with the release notes. You decide whether to update; it never installs on its own.
hinow-cli upgrade # a mais recente
hinow-cli upgrade 1.0.2 # uma versão específicaIt downloads the package for your variant, verifies the sha256, and swaps the binary in ~/.hinow/bin. The previous one becomes .old until the next opening. In a serve running as a service, restart afterward: hinow-cli service restart.
On a headless machine, no one responds to the notice. hinow-cli serve --autoupdate (or hinow-cli service install --autoupdate) checks once a day and, when there's a new version and nothing is in progress, installs and restarts. This is the only situation where HiNow Code updates without asking, and only because you requested it with the flag. Details in Server mode.
On CI machines, or where the version is controlled by you: HINOW_DISABLE_AUTOUPDATE=1 in the environment, or "autoupdate": false in ~/.config/hinow/hinow.json.
All versions and packages by platform are at downloads.hinow.ai/hinow-cli. The installer accepts --version to install a specific one.
hinow-cli uninstall --dry-run # mostra o que seria removido
hinow-cli uninstall # remove programa, configuração e dados
hinow-cli uninstall --keep-config --keep-dataThe PATH line in the shell file and the link in ~/.local/bin are removed together, and at the end it shows you the rm command for the binary to run. The login for this machine is deleted along with the data.
