Using MDK Hub (Recommended)

1. Open MDK Hub.
2. Click the "Check for Updates" button (or look for the update notification badge).
3. If template updates are available, you'll see them listed.
4. Click "Update Templates" to install the latest version.

The Hub will handle the update automatically and notify you when complete.

Using Command Line

1. Open a terminal (Terminal, Command Prompt, or PowerShell).

   

2. Check for available updates:

   dotnet new update --check-only
   

   

   This shows your current version and any available updates.

3. Update the templates:

   • Update all templates:

     dotnet new update
     

   • Update MDK templates specifically (as shown in the screenshot):

     dotnet new install Mal.Mdk2.ScriptTemplates::[version]
     

The command line method updates the templates globally for all IDEs (Visual Studio and Rider have template UIs; VSCode users use dotnet new).
