Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Disable Automatic Update of the CLI

When you run a command, Salesforce CLI checks to see if you have the latest version. If not, the CLI automatically updates itself. You can disable this automatic update with an environment variable.

To remain on the current version of the CLI and disable automatic updates, set the SF_AUTOUPDATE_DISABLE environment variable to true. How you set an environment variable is different for different operating systems. See the operating system vendor’s help for instructions on how to set environment variables.
