Example:

$ ptk self upgrade

Offline Upgrade

Firstly, you need to download a package based on your operating system (the following link always shows you the packages of the latest versions):

• MacOS ARM64: ptk_darwin_arm64.tar.gz
• MacOS X86: ptk_darwin_x86_64.tar.gz
• Linux ARM64: ptk_linux_arm64.tar.gz
• Linux X86: ptk_linux_x86_64.tar.gz
• Windows X86: ptk_windows_x86_64.tar.gz

Secondly, you need to put the PTK package in the PTK binary directory of the server where PTK is installed and decompress the package to override the old binary file.

# which ptk
/root/.ptk/bin/ptk

# cd /root/.ptk/bin/
tar -xvf ptk_[os]_[arch]_.tar.gz

If the PTK version is later than 0.3, you can specify the -p parameter to perform the local upgrade.

# ptk self upgrade -p /path/to/ptk_[os]_[arch]_.tar.gz
