Updating

To upgrade an existing installation to the latest release:

tiger upgrade

This downloads the latest published binary, verifies its checksum, and replaces the currently running binary in place. If Tiger CLI was installed via a package manager (Homebrew, apt, yum/dnf), `tiger upgrade` will instead point you at the matching package-manager command.
