How correctly update flow?

[blazejgrzelinski]

If Flow is in global folder uninstall it with:

1. sudo npm uninstall --global flow-bin

and then install it again:

2. sudo npm install --global flow-bin

Fixed.

1. Check where is flow - whereis flow
2. Remove it - sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/flow
3. Add Flow - yarn global add flow-bin@latest

I don't remember if I installed Flow with NPM or no, even after deleting whole Node.js and NPM and reinstalling, it was always 0.37.4 version, but after that fix everything seems fine.

if you are on osx, it's worth looking in .usr/local/lib/node_modules. Not sure how but that is where my annoying little version was lurking and messing everything up.

After loads of searches I went on a hunt around my filesystem. If you are on osx, it's worth looking in .usr/local/lib/node_modules. Not sure how but that is where my annoying little version 0.68 was lurking and messing everything up.

If you're like me and forgot where you installed Flow and it doesn't seem to be in /usr/bin/flow or whereis is drawing a blank try npm -g ls | grep flow. You could have also installed flow through Homebrew or the binary.

I solved it by deleting .flowConfig file and running yarn flow init to create it again. It appears that .flowConfig is tightly linked to the version number.
