How should I update the version of Rustup? not updating the version of rustc or cargo

Question

I am pretty new to Rust and currently reading Rust book on the official website.

I am now looking into Rustup, which I think is very cool.

I get that we can manage the version of rustc and cargo with Rustup, but what if I want to upgrade Rustup's version in the future? How can I do this?

Answer 1

From the guide, rustup will check for updates to itself (in addition to the toolchain updates) every time you run rustup update. You could also exclusively update rustup by running rustup self update.
