When I try to run the tests with `codecrafters test` I get the following:

```auto
Initiating test run...
create submission: Your CLI is outdated, please upgrade here: https://docs.codecrafters.io/cli/update

```

When I go to the link I get the curl command for macOS:

```auto
curl https://codecrafters.io/install.sh | sh

```

then I run it and I it seems to install the latest version:

```auto
Installed v44-a1f9117
Done!

```

I run the codecrafters command again and see the same error message asking me to upgrade.

Running `codecrafters` (without an argument), I see the version is not the latest:

```auto
CLI to interact with CodeCrafters
...

VERSION
  v41-4dd92cf

```

I had to uninstall the previous version, which installed via brew (a path issue). Maybe your install script could help with that?
