# CLI Management

## Check version

```bash theme={null}
tape --version
```

Quote this version when reporting an issue, and compare it with the latest release
before upgrading.

## Upgrade

Update the complete installed Tapedrive release:

```bash theme={null}
tape-install update
```

Re-running the homepage installer performs the same stable-channel update. To
inspect or select a release already present on disk:

```bash theme={null}
tape-install list
tape-install use 0.4.1
```

## Uninstall

Remove the installer-owned binaries, active-release link, and PATH block:

```bash theme={null}
tape-install uninstall
```

<Warning>
  `~/.tape/cassettes/` holds your tape keypairs. Deleting a tape keypair means losing control of that tape, and nothing on-chain will remind you it exists ([why](/protocol/architecture/tapes)). Back up any keypair you care about before removing anything.
</Warning>

The uninstaller deliberately leaves `~/.tape`, node stores, keys, cassettes,
user-authored configuration, and system services untouched. Remove or archive
those separately only when you explicitly intend to discard operational data.
