Totally agree that we need a better solution here!

To date I've been doing:

rm -rf ~/.notion/bin ~/.notion/cache ~/.notion/catalog.toml ~/.notion/config.toml ~/.notion/launchbin ~/.notion/launchscript ~/.notion/load.sh ~/.notion/notion ~/.notion/tmp ~/.notion/tools

And re-running the installer...

Just to note, you can actually do the following now:

rm -rf $NOTION_HOME
curl -sSLf https://get.notionjs.com | bash

Think of the Windows users as well, please :)

@Stanzilla definitely! The story for upgrades is actually a little more straightforward on Windows, since the installer already has support built-in.

We have a windows installer, but at the moment it’s not signed. We’re looking into getting a code-signing certificate so we can make it a little nicer.

hi, what is the progress of this issue?

[charlespierce]

Hi @zhaoyao91, there hasn't been any change: You can update by re-running the installer (either the pre-packaged one for Windows or the install script curl https://get.volta.sh | bash for Linux / MacOS.

If anyone is using volta on Windows, currently there is an easy way to update volta. You can install volta via Scoop, and just type scoop update volta to upgrade. I've been comfortable with it for a few months (since volta 0.8.x).
