    brew update

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 Retrieve the list of all the outdated packages on your system:

    brew outdated

  4. Upgrade these packages to the lastest 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
