1. Run shopify version to check the current version of Shopify CLI.
wangqiang@DESKTOP-QLPK8QM:~$ shopify version
Current Shopify CLI version: 3.49.7
💡 Version 3.52.0 available!2. Run shopify upgrade to update Shopify CLI to the latest version. An error occurs: Error: EACCES: permission denied, rename ‘/usr/lib/node_modules/@shopify/cli’ -> ‘/usr/lib/node_modules/@shopify/.cli-9RdBklQd’ . See Figure 1.

3. Add sudo before the command npm install -g @shopify/cli@latest @shopify/theme@latest to elevate privileges, and the error no longer occurs.

4. However, checking the version number shows no change. Reference: https://www.shuijingwanwq.com/2023/11/29/8249/ When running: shopify version, it prompts: Version 3.49.7 available!, but after successfully running: shopify upgrade, it still prompts: Version 3.49.7 available!. I decide to hold off on dealing with this for now.
wangqiang@DESKTOP-QLPK8QM:~$ shopify version
Current Shopify CLI version: 3.49.7
💡 Version 3.52.0 available!
