2. Update Homebrew by running the following command:

   brew update
   

3. Retrieve the list of all the outdated packages on your system:

   brew outdated
   

4. Upgrade these packages to the latest version available in Homebrew’s repositories:

   brew upgrade
   

   Note

   If you want to upgrade selected packages only, run the following command: brew upgrade package-name.
