Upgrading surveilr

The following commands shows how to upgrade surveilr on your:

$ surveilr upgrade ## Upgrades to the latest version

$ surveilr upgrade -v 0.13.0 ## Upgrades to version 0.13.0 if present

When using the command above, you will be prompted to confirm the upgrade by typing yes. However, if you are running the upgrade in a bash script, you won't be able to provide this confirmation interactively. To address this, we have provided the --yes or --y flag, which automatically skips the confirmation step. Here is how to use it:

## Upgrades to the latest version and skips confirmation
$ surveilr upgrade --yes

## Upgrades to version 0.1.2 if present and  skips the confirmation
$ surveilr upgrade -v 0.13.0 --yes

Downgrading surveilr

The following commands shows how to downgrade surveilr to any version:

$ surveilr upgrade -v 0.12.0 ## downgrades to version 0.12.0

This takes the same form as the upgrade command with the only difference being that a lower version is passed.
