Currently, the docs state that I need to run a cargo command to update my Sui CLI.  
[docs: upgrade sui binaries](https://docs.sui.io/testnet/build/install#upgrade-sui-binaries)

How should I update my CLI using the [releases assets](https://github.com/MystenLabs/sui/releases)?

Hi @GCB - which OS are you using?

In a nutshell, if you already used `cargo install --locked --git [...]` you should first delete the binary file from `/.cargo/bin/` and then just download the released file and make it available on your PATH. Depending on the OS, this can look a bit differently.
