The recommended method of updating your app to the latest version is to use **the built-in updater**. The recommended method of updating the app to the latest version is to use **the built-in updater**.
If that doesn't work or you prefer Homebrew, you can also upgrade via those methods. If you have a very slow internet connection, the updater may report that the download has timed out. In that case, you may wish to manually update by [downloading the latest release](https://github.com/nicoverbruggen/phpmon/releases/latest) and placing the app in `/Applications`.
(You may also use Homebrew to update PHP Monitor, but this will require you to approve the app every time an update is installed. If you use the built-in updater, this won't be necessary.)
