    <summary>Updating Fusion</summary>
<p>
The following instructions are for updating local installations of <Constant name="fusion" />. <Constant name="dbt_platform" /> users automatically get the `latest` updates.

Running the system update command without a version flag installs the `latest` stable release:

```shell
dbt system update
```

To install a specific channel or version, pass the `--version` flag:

```shell
dbt system update --version canary    # Install the canary release
dbt system update --version dev       # Install the dev release
dbt system update --version 2.0.0-preview.126     # Install a specific version
```
