Update & uninstall

FreeCoder keeps itself current — no manual downloads, no version chasing, no nagging.

Silent auto-update

On launch, the installed program checks for a newer release and, if there is one, updates in the background and continues. Every update is verified before it's applied, so a bad or incomplete download can never replace a working install. In practice, you'll simply always be on the latest version.

Need to pin a version temporarily — for example in CI? Set FREECODER_NO_UPDATE=1 to skip the update check.

Reinstall or repair

If anything ever looks off, re-running the installer is completely safe — it replaces the program in place:

Uninstall

Remove FreeCoder with the built-in command:

freecoder uninstall

Or remove it manually — delete the install folder and drop it from your PATH:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\FreeCoder

FreeCoder keeps everything in that one folder and doesn't scatter files around your system, so removal is clean and complete. Hitting a snag? See Troubleshooting.
