+### Upgrading
+
+Because `polaris` is a **global install**, use `npm install -g` to upgrade — not `npx`:
+
+```sh
+npm install -g @lightupai/polaris@latest
+```
+
+`npx @lightupai/polaris@latest` will work for first-time installs but won't override a global binary already in `PATH`. The CLI warns you at startup if a newer version is available.
+
 ## Configuration
 
 Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and fill in your credentials. All settings are loaded by the Makefile and passed to services.
