Update the scanner

Use the update method that matches the installation method.

Standalone release

The built in updater keeps the current filename:

php scanner --update
php scanner --version

You can also replace the file from the latest GitHub release:

curl --fail --silent --show-error --location \
  --output scanner.new \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marcocesarato/PHP-Antimalware-Scanner/master/dist/scanner

php scanner.new --version
mv scanner.new scanner

On Windows PowerShell, replace the last command with Move-Item -Force scanner.new scanner.

Keep TLS verification enabled

Do not bypass certificate checks while downloading an executable scanner. Fix the system trust store or network configuration when verification fails.

Composer installation

Update the package through Composer:

composer update marcocesarato/amwscan
composer show marcocesarato/amwscan

Commit the resulting composer.lock change when the scanner belongs to a project. This keeps development and continuous integration on the same version.

After updating

Run a report scan against a known project and compare the result with the previous version before enabling automated file actions.
