## Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

If you previously installed the ServiceNow SDK on your system, you can upgrade to use the latest version. Upgrading the ServiceNow SDK doesn't update any applications you have previously created or converted with the ServiceNow SDK.

This procedure uses the ServiceNow SDK command-line interface (CLI). From a command-line tool, enter `now-sdk --help` to get information about the available commands and global options. To get additional information about a
command and its parameters, enter the command and `--help` or `-h`. For example, `now-sdk auth --help`. For more information about the CLI, see [ServiceNow SDK CLI](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/PRE3GTgYc~ImvC7_7y2WzA#servicenow-sdk-cli-commands "Use the ServiceNow SDK command-line interface (CLI) to manage changes between a local application and the application on an instance.").

## Procedimento

1. Complete the following steps depending on whether you're updating a global installation of the ServiceNow SDK or the version used by an application.

   | Option | Steps |
   | Application package | 1. Open the package.json file for your application. 2. In the `devDependencies` object, update the versions of the `@servicenow/sdk` and `@servicenow/eslint-plugin-sdk-app-plugin` packages. For example: "devDependencies": { "@servicenow/sdk": "<version>", "@servicenow/glide": "26.0.1", "eslint": "8.50.0", "@servicenow/eslint-plugin-sdk-app-plugin": "<version>" } 3. Open a command-line tool on your system. 4. Change directories into the directory for your application using the `cd` command: cd <path/to/directory> 5. Enter the following command to verify the version of the ServiceNow SDK: now-sdk -v {#upgrade-servicenow-sdk__ol_zvk_cns_mgc} |
