NAME

softwareupdate – system software update tool

SYNOPSIS

softwareupdate command [args …]

DESCRIPTION

Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software.

Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args.

softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except –list.

If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be prompted for a password where required.

Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts.

The following commands are available:

-l | –list
List all available updates.

-i | –install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed. args can be one of the following:

-r | --recommended
All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the –list output.
-R | --restart
Automatically restart (or shut down) if required to complete installation. If the user invoking this tool is logged in then macOS will attempt to quit all applications, logout, and restart. If the user is not logged in, macOS will trigger a forced reboot if necessary. If you wish to always perform a forced reboot, pass -f (–force).
-a | --all All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a - character in the –list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.)
item … One or more specified updates. The –list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or - characters. See EXAMPLES.

-d | –download
Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the –install command. Updates downloaded with –download can be subsequently installed with –install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain applicable to your system).
Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking the packages in that directory: always use –install or the App Store to actually perform the install.

–schedule Returns the per-machine automatic (background) check preference.

-h | –help
Print command usage.
