Updating ExifTool with a Command line

[LANGzeitbelichtung]

Hey all,
is there an option for update ExifTool with a simple command line?
or is the only way a download and manual installing?

thx.

Hi Matt,

You should be able to install the latest production ExifTool with "brew install exiftool".  There may be other ways as well.

Be sure to uninstall exiftool first if you have previously installed using a different method.

Matt,

You don't mention which package manager you use so I'll throw out what I know.  MacPorts does a thing I don't like with exiftool versioning.  port search exiftool gives,

p5-image-exiftool @10.940.0 (perl)
    Perl interface and general command line utility to read, write and edit EXIF metadata

p5.24-image-exiftool @10.820.0_1 (perl)
    Obsolete port, replaced by p5.26-image-exiftool

p5.26-image-exiftool @10.940.0 (perl)
    Perl interface and general command line utility to read, write and edit EXIF metadata

I'm guessing when they update it it'll be named "p5.28-image-exiftool" so if that's the case you'd want to do,

port uninstall p5.26-image-exiftool ; p5.28-image-exiftool

HTH,

D.
