No worries. There are two different “updates” here, so pick the one you mean:

Updating Legendary itself to the announced 0.21.0 release

The simplest path is the standalone file from the latest release page. Download the asset that matches your system:

• Windows 64-bit: legendary_windows_x64.exe
• Windows ARM64: legendary_windows_arm64.exe
• Linux 64-bit: legendary_linux_x64
• Linux ARM64: legendary_linux_arm64
• macOS: legendary_macOS.zip, or the matching legendary_macOS_x64 / legendary_macOS_arm64 binary

Then put it somewhere in your PATH. On Linux/macOS also run:

chmod +x legendary

If you installed through Python instead, update the Python package instead of downloading the standalone binary:

python -m pip install -U legendary-gl

The README says current Legendary needs Python 3.10 or newer, so if that command fails, check:

python --version

Updating an installed game

That is a Legendary command after you already have the program installed:

legendary list-installed --check-updates
legendary update "Game Name"

update is an alias of the install/download command for games; it is not how you update the Legendary program itself.

After installing/updating Legendary, run:

legendary auth
legendary list

If those work, the CLI is installed correctly.

If this gets you unstuck, please mark the answer so other new users can tell CLI updates from game updates.
