Unable to update sf from 1.84.0

[nikatmavens]

Summary

Hello, I am unable to update to the latest version of sf.

If I run sf --version I get:

›   Warning: @salesforce/cli update available from 1.84.0 to 1.85.8.
@salesforce/cli/1.84.0 darwin-x64 node-v18.15.0

Next if I run sf update I get:

@salesforce/cli: Updating CLI... already on version 1.85.8-28f45df

Initially I had sf installed using npm but encountered some issues so I deleted it using the steps for Mac listed here.

After that I installed it using the link for MacOS from here.

System Information

I am running MacOS Ventura 13.1
I am using zsh

Hello @nikatmavens 👋 None of the versions of sf you shared match the latest release.

Shared: 1.84.0, 1.84.0
Latest: 1.85.8

Update to the latest version of Salesforce CLI (docs) and confirm that you're still seeing your issue.
You can also try the rc and nightly releases! (docs)

After updating, share the full output of sf version --verbose --json

@nikatmavens - it's a bit confusing at the moment, but you can't update the sf CLI with sf update when you installed it via the sfdx CLI installer. If you want to update sf when it's installed with sfdx you must run sfdx update. That should update both sfdx and sf.
As an alternative, you can follow the instructions on how to install the sf v2 beta CLI using the installers here, then when you run sf update it will work as you're expecting. Our plan is to switch the main install page to point to the sf v2 installers next week Wednesday, July 12th.

Please reopen if this isn't working for you.
