upgrade
=======
Briefcase uses external tools to manage the process of packaging apps. Where
possible, Briefcase will manage the process of obtaining those tools. This
is currently done for
* **WiX** (used by the Windows MSI backend)
* **linuxdeploy** (used by the Linux AppImage backend)
* **Java JDK** (used by the Android backed)
* **Android SDK** (used by the Android backend)
Over time, it may be necessary to upgrade these tools. The ``upgrade`` command
provides a way to perform these upgrades.
If you are managing your own version of these tools (e.g., if you have
downloaded a version of WiX and have set the ``WIX_HOME`` environment variable),
you must manage any upgrades on your own.
