    Hello,

    You can download the latest version of Workbench from here:
    https://docs.rstudio.com/rsw/installation/

    In this article, package manager refers to the generic package management that's available on your Linux Distribution (essentially, the tool that lets you install packages on Linux). I can see why this may be confused with Posit Package Manager!

    Our upgrade documentation can be found here:

    You can find the specific rpm/deb file to upgrade to here:

    I hope this answers all of your questions!
