I have asked this question before in Slack but it fell into the Slack blackhole... I want to update Julia from the command line (on Windows 10). Is there a guide to that? https://julialang.org/downloads/ seems to only give links for installers without describing how to do it from the command line.

Did you look at juliaup? https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-juliaup-preview-julia-version-manager-and-windows-store-installer/61920

I have seen it before. I was thinking of something clean, not requiring new things on my computer

I think the idea is that to make juliaup the last thing you need to install.

I also heard juliaup is working smoothly on Windows

I'm quite sure juliaup is the future of updating and maintaining Julia installs on windows. Do give it a go!

(It's probably also the future on linux too, TBH. It could be put into the linux package repositories and sidestep all the problems which come with trying to package Julia itself in a way which is acceptable to the linux distro maintainers.)

On Linux I quite like Jill for managing Julia installations
