Update and uninstall

Update

elanous self-update                  # latest release
elanous self-update --version 0.2.0  # a specific version

A release install updates by re-running the release installer; the previous version stays under versions/ for rollback.

Option	What it does
--version <version>	Install a specific release (default: latest)
--restart	Also restart the background service so it runs the new version
--keep <n>	How many recent versions to keep after installing (default 3; the current and previous are always kept)
--json	Structured result

elanous update and automatic updates

elanous update                # same as self-update
elanous update --auto on      # update every day
elanous update --auto status  # is it on?
elanous update --auto off

--auto on installs a daily job — a launchd agent on macOS, a systemd user timer on Linux — that runs self-update --restart --alert at 04:17 local time. It is not turned on if a cron entry already runs the update.

Moving from monad

Elanous 0.2.0 is monad renamed — same project, new command (elanous), folders (~/.elanous, ~/.local/share/elanous), ELANOUS_* variables and service names.

warning

Don't move with monad update

The old updater doesn't know the new install folder. Turn automatic updates off (monad update --auto off), install Elanous fresh with the one-line installer, then run the migration script it ships.

The exact steps — the migration script (a dry run first), macOS and Linux services, what stays behind — are in the 0.2.0 release notes.

Uninstall

curl -fsSL https://github.com/ElanvitalAI/elanous/releases/latest/download/uninstall.sh | bash

It removes what the installer created (versions/, current, bin/, install.json) and the PATH lines it added. Anything else in the install folder is kept and named — your memories live there (~/.local/share/elanous/memory). Your state folder (~/.elanous: logins, logs, ledgers, config) is not removed either. If you installed the background service, run elanous nexus uninstall --launchd (macOS) or --systemd-user (Linux) first.

Available from 0.1.1

uninstall.sh ships as a release asset from 0.1.1. Use that one even on a 0.1.0 install — the copy bundled with 0.1.0 removes the whole install folder, memories included.
