Update MAX

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

Using Mojo?

If you previously installed only Mojo, you need to now install MAX, which includes everything for Mojo developers and a unified toolkit for AI developers. To get the latest version of Mojo, follow the guide to install MAX.

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:

   Mac

   brew update \
     && brew upgrade modular

   Linux

   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:

   Mac

   brew update \
     && brew upgrade modular

   Linux

   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!
