Update
You can download the latest PMC CLI by browsing https://gitlab.com/chromaway/core-tools/management-console/-/packages and searching for the latest version to update it. You should remove the old files and then add the new ones to your file system at the exact location.
If you have installed the PMC CLI via a package manager, you can update it with:

Docker
Docker can run a standalone Linux container with the PMC CLI pre-installed. Make sure that you have set up the PostgreSQL database.
To use the published Docker images, you must first have Docker installed and configured on your host machine. Please refer to the Docker documentation on how to install Docker on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
Start the Docker container with PMC CLI pre-installed
To run the latest version of the PMC CLI, use the docker run command and specify the CLI docker image name and any of the pmc commands.
Unix-based systems:
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/usr/app -w /usr/app registry.gitlab.com/chromaway/postchain-chromia/chromaway/postchain-mc:<latest version> -h
Windows:
docker run --rm -v "%cd%":/usr/app -w /usr/app registry.gitlab.com/chromaway/postchain-chromia/chromaway/postchain-mc:<latest version> -h
