Heroku Doesn't Seem to Update in Ubuntu

Writer Olivia Zamora

When prompted to check the version of Heroku in this link: (under the troubleshooting section), I can't use the simple heroku update command, I have to use thesudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade heroku entry which I understand. The issue is that it says I'm not up to date with my version as we see directly below. This is the exact output:

› Warning: heroku update available from 7.0.92 to 7.0.93
heroku/7.0.92 linux-x64 node-v10.4.0

Clearly it's indicating that my program isn't up to date on the first line and that my program can be upgraded to 7.0.93. Like I said, I enter the appropriate command to upgrade and when I enter heroku version it outputs that same message. Does anyone have an idea of how to fix this issue? I don't know what's wrong and I've uninstalled the program and started from scratch numerous times and still can't figure out the issue.

If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu in the Oracle VM.

On my Lubuntu 16.04 machine, I tried the snap package installastion, the script installation (which basically adds a PPA and installs from it) and the standalone installation from tarball. The snap package didn’t install, both the other installations left me with version 7.0.92 as you describe. In the case of the PPA, you can trust the system to provide you with the latest version the PPA owner – in this case – provides. As even the tarball version doesn’t provide the obviously current version 7.0.93 (yet), I assume the new version has just not been made available via tarballs and the PPA yet, but probably will be shortly. If you installed heroku with the script, your usual package updates covers heroku as well. You don’t need to do anything special to receive updates for the package, and the version the PPA provides is probably fine.
